The Philadelphia Press, republican,
commenting on political affairs in the
southern states, says I'm Georgia also a
hot contest is proceeding for the guber-
Material nomination, and at present it
looks as if Gen. Evans, who is supported
by the Atlanta Constitution, will win. As
that newspaper is outspoken in its opposi-
ton TO Mr. Cleveland, it is natural to con-
clude that its candidate is of the same
frame Of mind" We are pleased to be
able to inform the Press that its CON
clusion is altogether erroneous. Gen.
Evans is a democrat, and stands upon the
Chicago platform, the same upon which
Mr.. Cleveland stands. Throughout the
state the county democratic organizations
are indorsing the President and the ad-
ministration The anti-Cleveland demo-
cratic sentiment in this state is insiguif-
cant. Whatever else the Georgia state
convention may do, it will indorse the
President and ratify the Chicago plat
form.

Hard times have struck the highway
men of New Jersey A few days ago a
New York drummer went over to Hack

two highwaymen, who insisted upon hav-

his shoes, coat and shirt. The drummer

Certain of the leading lawyers of New

convention of that state relative to i'm
paneling thirteen jurors instead of twelve,
the thirteenth to have no voice in deter

disability of one of the twelve. .1Fhey say
the thirteenth juror would be as expen-

trial of case is now.

Wien one Chinese hiphbinder wishes

When one Chinese highlander wishes
to iniure another highlander in the man
ner that will hurt him most, he destroys
his property. The highbinder's most SEN
sitive point is his purse. In San Fran
cisco Chinese women are valued at 81 ,OOC
to $1,000 each. Recently two Chinese
women, the property of rival high binders
have been murdered. The police believe
that in each case the woman was killed
in order to infict pecuniary loss upon her
owner.

DANGEROUS Cranks.

There are many cranks among the
Coxeyites, The majority of them are
harmless, but some of them are danger
Gus. 1t is necessary, therefore, that the
authorities should keep careful watch
upon all of them, because it is not always
possible to distinguish the harmless ones
from those that are dangerous.
A few days ago New York detective
received information that the purpose
of some of the cranks in the Lincoln,
Neb., branch of the commonweal army"
commanded by a man named Duff, that
left Omaha for Washington Monday, was
to assassinate President Cleveland.
The governor of Nebraska was notified
of the purpose of these cranks,
and it was suggested that it
would be advisable to have Duff's army
dispersed. The governor answered that
unless the army" committed some of
Tense it would be impossible to check it's
progress toward Washington. He ex-
pressed the opinion, however, that it
would not reach its destination.
Precautions will be taken, of course,
against permitting the cranks in Duff's
army to get close to the white house.
The safety of the President is carefully
looked after. 1t is a remarkable condi-
tion of affairs, however, that it is neces-
sary for the President to be on his
guard all the time against irresponsible
men, who are being led to the national
capital by those whose chief purpose is
to gain little cheap notoriety, and it is
still more remarkable that such men
should have defenders among senators
and representatives, and should even be
sustained by very considerable number
of people.
The populists of the congressional dis
trict in Ohio in which Coxey lives have
nominated him for congress. That act
| justlties the conclusion that Coxey has
| the sympathy and approval of the pop
ulists of Ohio. Indeed, there is ground
for saying that the populists in all parts
of the country regard him and his move
ment with favor. If it were not so, pop
ulist senators and representatives would
not be found defending Coxey, not only
in congress, but also in the police court of
Washington.
1t is not likely that the President will
be a victim of any of Coxey's tramps. but
the fact that he is in danger of violence
at their hands makes it clear that there
ought to be some lawful way of checking
such a movement as that started by

1t is claimed by the Pacific slope sena-
tors that they have the new Chinese
treaty beaten; that it will not be ratified
by the Senate. Representatives of west
ern labor unions have lately been in
Washington lobbying against the treaty,
and 1t is alleged their efforts have been
successful. The argument they used
principally is that the country has enough
of cheap and idle labor, and that fresh
influx under the treaty would only add to
the prevailing distress. 1t is alleged that
when the vote on the treaty is taken it
will lack twelve votes of the two-thirds
vote necessary to its ratification If this
rumOr is correct, the senators should be
consistent and see that the doors of the
ports are closed against cheap labor of
other nationalities as well as against the
Chinese.

The latest information with regard to
the registration of Chinese makes the
situation rather ludicrous. In their eff
forts TO please the Mclean man" the
Chinese have over-registered; that is,
more written permits to reside in the
United States have been secured in
Chinese names than there are Chinese
laborers in the country. The law does
not require merchants, diplomats and
professional men to register, but if all of
the Chinese of those classes in the coun-
try were to register the number would
still fall several hundred short of the
number of certificates issued--that is, if
the last census is to be depended upon
and the exclusion laws have been en-
forced. There are two ways of account
ing for the MISREPRESENTATION. One is, the
willy celestials have repeated, - in order
to get certificates to send home to their
friends who wish to try their fortunes
here. The other is that hundreds of
Chinese have been struggled into the
country despite the exclusion laws.
