Public Sentiment Against rillman.

4
About all the leading newspapers in
the country are against Gov. Tillman.
They do not condemn him for his efforts
to uphold the law AS a rule, they com
mend him for doing that, but they con-
demn him for narging and harassing the
people until he has PROVOKED them TO re-
sistance. He has appealed to prejudice
and ignorance until he has arrayed one
class Of citizens against another, and has
used his power to humiiate the minority
class. He has seemed to take particular
delight in parading the fact that the
class he represents is on top, and in in
venting ways and means to annoy the
class that is in opposition to him.
In his speech at the state capitol, re-
ported in our dispatches yesterday, he
prided himself that he had kept within
the law in his efforts to enforce the law.
If he has kept within the letter of the
law he has not kept within the spirit of
it. He has been neither wise nor Judi
Cious in his enforcement Of it, He has
acted as if he had absolute power, and
the impression he has made is that those
who oppose him would be dealt with as if
no consideration. He looks upon himself
as the leader of class, rather than as
the governor of the whole people, whose
duty il is to be watchful of the interests
of every citizen
In published interview he describes
the situation as fight of the democracy
against aristocracy. He seems to be ami
mated by fec limo of hitterneee AGAINST
those whom he calls the aristocracy, and
that accounts for his violent methods in
enforcing an Objectionable law Appar-
emily he considers it to be his mission to
break the spirit of the aristocracy-to
trample upon the aristocrats because
they so long held control of the state aud
directed its affairs.
Surely man animated by such feel
ing cannot hope to rule in peace. He can
not expect that the people will be con
tented and happy if he improves every
opportunity to remind them that he re-
CARDS them as enemies by depressing
them in the many ways that are open to
him
He may succeed in preventing other
outbreaks of violence, but unless he
changes his policy the people will be so
disturbed by political animosities that
they will give very little attention to
their occupations and business pursuits
The consequence will be that the state
will make little or no progress. Indeed
the most conservative and valuable citl-
zens will feel like seeking homes else
where

A Well Managed Comnanu-

The Savannah Construction Company
held its annual election for officers yester-
day and listened to q statement of its
affairs. The statement is satisfactory.
1t shows the company to be in good
financial condition
The company has been conducted on
safe business principles and when its
affairs are wound up its members will get
their money back, together with good
profit on their investment. 1t differs
widely from the wild cat concerns that
are foated on wind and come to grief
without accomplishing anything beyond
indicting loss upon those beguiled into
putting their money into them
1t has built substantial railroad that
has become part of great railroad svs-
tem-a system that promises to be of
much benefit to Savannah. In fact. the
company was formed for the purpose of
benetitting Savannah. 1t has accom-
plished its object with credit and profit
to itself
Attention is drawn to this company at
this time for one purpose only. 1t is to
point out that there is plenty of room here
and elsewhere in the south for legitimate
railroad and other enterprises-ent
prises that will return a good profit to in
vestors. Investors who are satisfied with
reasonable profits rarely complain of
losses. 1t is only those who go
into purely speculative concerns that
come 10 grief. 1t IS only seldom that
those who are promised big returns from
a little outlay get their money back.

OF half dozen gentlemen determined on

over 200 pounds, was caught IN a deluge Of

Helping the Editor.

A clericallooking gentleman, according to
the Tammany Times, entered an Austin, Tex,
newspaper office, and drawing out a concealed
document, said to the editor:
Il am soliciting for a heightened gentleman
of refinement ana intelligence. He is sadly
in need OF money, but he is too proud to let
the public know it,
" GU don t say So" said the editor with
animation.

James Owen O'Connor is dead. There
are few theater-goers in this country who
do not know of him. either from report or
from having seen him on the stage. He was
probably the original freak" actor in
this country. Before his day there were
no prize fighters, or burglars, or bridge
jumpers on the stage. O'COnnor started
out to be a legitimate actor, in Two senses
of the term he meant TO do legitimate
work in legitimate drama But he over
acted his parts and made them ridiculous
From going to enjoy the play, his audi
ence got to going out to ridicule theactor.
Seeing that he was being taken for a
butt, O'Connor resolved TO make the most
of it; if the people wanted to sec a clown
on the stage in great tragedy roles, aud
were willing to pay for it, he was ready
to supply the demand He advertised
himself in grandiloquent style, dressed
himself in outlaudish costumes to play
such characters as Hamlet, and parodied
the emotions the great authors meant
their characters to bring out. he was
Of vegeta blcs, and was forced
at intervals through his solilo-
quies to dodge behind the flies to escape
overripe eggs. Nevertheless, he always
drew a full house, and made money.
There appeared TO be in every town he
visited several hundred people who were
willing to give the price of seat for the
privilege of throwing turnips and toma-
toes at O'Connor. The eccentric genius
some persons say he was crazy from the
beginning finally attacked W it'll pa

asylum at Morris Plains, n. Y.

Petroleum For Mosquitoes.

VA II Va Alu4LOGSs
Mr. Z. 0. Howard, who lives near
the city of Washington, D. c., last year
and the year before, made experiments
with view to Kidding his premises of
the mosquito pest that proved highly sat
isfactory. The details of his experiments
have impressed the people of New Or
leans so favorable that there is talk
among the city fathers there of applying
the Howard system of insect killing on a
grand scale in and about that city Mr..
Howard located his mosquito breeding
ground in miilpond and the adjoining
marshy land near his residence. He had
previously established the fact. by tests
in rain water barrel, that kerosene oil
is certain death TO the mosquito Larvae.
When he had located the
wholesale hatchery of mosquitoes be pro-
ceeded TO spray the whole area with
crude petroleum. The area was about
1900 square feet, and fifteen gallons of
oil, at cost of Sl.7O, sufficed for the
work. This he did in March, when the
innocent mosquito papooses were still
slumtering unmatched in the mud and
oo;c. Three weeks after the sprinkling
there remained scum of oil over the
area, and most Of the Larvae had been
killed. During the summer following
Mr. Howard s first experiment very few
mosquitoes survived TO annoy him, The
next spring he repeated the sprinkling,
and during the summer of that year he
had no use for mosquito nets.
The petroleum plan has been tried in
one or two villages in New Jersey. with
more or less success. But never has the
idea been tested on any such scale as is
suggested for New Orleans, where it is
proposed to sprinkle all of the adjacent
swamps and the dairy districts in the
citys suburbs with petroleum.
It is understood, upon the authority of
the Washington correspondent of the
New York Sun, that Senator Hills forth
coming great" tariff speech win be begun
today, and win be spiced with personaIi-
ties directed at Senator Voorhees,, chair
man of the finance committee. Senator
Hill paid strict attention to Senator Voor-
hecs' opening speech on the tariff ana

these democratic senator's who are op-
posing the bin upon the pretext that they
are fighting the income tax feature of it.
