Gordon in the Role of a Leader.

Senator Gordon has suddenly come to
the front in connection with the tariff
/ bill. He is alarmed by the slow progress
/ the Senate is making with the bill, and
! he purposes to hasten its progress. He is
afraid the bill will not be passed if the
| discussion of it is not limited. He sees,
| as everyone outside of the Senate who
/ has given the matter any thought, sees,
that if the republicans are permitted to
talk all they want to, they will talk the
bill to death.
The republicans say they do not intend
to filibuster to defeat the bill. They
propose to engage only in legitimate
debate. In view of the fact that there
are over 400 amendments it is apparent
that it is possible for them to indulge in
what they are pleased to call legitimate
debate for the remainder of this year.
They held a meeting at the house of Sen
ator Sherman Tuesday night for the pur
pose Of determining how long they would
discuss the bill. They came to no conclu-
sion. Apparently the sentiment was in
favor of delaying the bill to the furthest
possible extent.
Senator Gordon proposes to have
closure rule adopted. Such rule, in his
opinion, is absolutely necessary. Senator
Hill favored such a rule a few months
ago, and started a movement to have it
adopted. He mas done nothing in respect
TO the matter recently. He is regarded
as being opposed to the bill, and hence,
doesn't want a closure rule by which it
could be put through the Senate at an
early day,
Senator Gordon has an opportunity to
distinguish himself. If he gets the demo-
Gratis to agree to a closure rule he will
have achieved notable victory, and will
increase his popularity, not only in his
own state. but also in all the other states.
The chance is open to him to achieve
more fame in connection with the tariff
bill than it is possible for any other sena-
tor to gain in any other way. If he sue
ceeds in getting vote on the bill by June
l, the whole country will be under obliga-
tons to him, and it will not be slow to &C
knowledge its obligation. Let him put
forth his best efforts and see if he can
not lead the Senate in this reform with as
much success as he once led armies on
the field of battle.

A word About the nrilitarv.

We publish this morning as a special
notice, statement showing the difficulty
the Guards are experiencing in getting
their complement of men for the encamp-
ment which begins next week. 1t con-
tains facts, and is very PLAIN and candid.
Our business men, and every other per-
son at all interested in the welfare of this
city, should give it very careful consid-
GRAFTON. 1t cannot be put aside as of little
Importance. II deals with a subject of
great-very great-importance.
There have been times when the mill
tary organizations of the city have been
needed, and they responded to the need.
Such times may come again. SHOULD
they come no obstacles would be thrown
in the way of the Guards or any other
military organization getting their full
complementof men. Employers would be
glad to make sacrifices then.
They are asked to make some little
sacrifices now, in order that the military
organizations may be fitted for sterner
duties if occasion for such duties should
arise 1t is to their interest to make
these sacrifices.
In all parts of the country the need for
military organizations is steadily increas-
ing. They are called into service now
more frequently than ever before. They
are effective in proportion as they are
well organized and well trained. The
training to make them effective can only
be obtained in camps. Let the Guards
be given such encouragement as to make
them feel they are appreciated.

How much does it cost to dress col
lege girl2 Gov. Tillman, of South Caro-
lima, says it can be done for $50 year, or
at most $50, including hats, shoes, and
all other articles of feminine apparel. e"
Now, Gov. Tillman is the father of daugh-
tiers, and is member of the board of
commissioners of a female college, and
ought to know what he is talking about
but we venture to say he is away OF on
the annual cost of a girls wardrobe, as
hundreds of other fathers of college girls
in his own state and Georgia can tell him.
A majority Of the fathers Of college girls
would probably be glad to contract with
the governor TO pay their daughters
dress bills for $50 a year per girl.

Nae sheriff of Newcastlo corntr

The sheriff of Newcastle county, Della
ware, the county in which is located the
city of Wilmington, earns his salary,
whatever the amount may be. On Sat
urday he had to fog nine prisoners con
victed of various petty ofTenses. AS the
lash he yields is pretty heavy affair, it
may be imagined that he was pretty tired
by the time the nine culprits had been
attended TO. Several of the poor victims,
however, had only begun their punish
meut when they had been fogged, as
they had to stand in the pillory several
hours.

The Eighteenth Ohio district, in
which Coxey has been nominated by the
populists for congress, is now represented
by democrat, Mr.. Ikert. The district is
pretty evenly balanced between the Demo-
cratit and Republican parties. The popu-
list vote there is Insignificant. being in
the last election only about 3 per cent
of the vote cast. There is, therefore, not
much probability of Coxey marching into
congress with his foolish notions.

In nothing is the inability Of the senatorial
conservatives to comprehend pubic opiu-

that they can "humll ate Senator Mills by
defeating him for a place on the finance com

people OF this country and is respect ted for his

people viii like him an the better for any con
domination with which the cons ervatives'
may see hit to decorate him. The only way
for the conservatives to humilate Mr., Mills
Is by approving OF him.

The cause of the fire in DR.. Talmage's
church remains mystery, and some of
the New York papers suggest incendia-
rism. Mr. Ira d. Sankey, the evangelist,
who was in the church when the fire was
discovered thinks he saw man in the
organ loft. The fire started in the organ.
It was thought it might have been occa-
stoned by poorly insulated electric wires,
but plan Of the wiring shows that there
was no wire within ten feet of where the
fire was first seen. Among the stories
of interest told in connection with the
fire is one to the effect that Russell Sage,

was arrested on the charge of victimizing

taken to the police court he averred he
was only 10 years old, and pointed TO his
face and figure TO prove it. The astute
court and the society's agent believed
him, and he was turned over to the
humanitarians instead of being sent to
Jail. Later it was discovered by the po-
lice that he was an old offender who had
been stealing from immigrants for ten
years.

To people on the outside it must appear
that Georgia's system, or rather LACK of
system, of selecting delegates to state
democratic conventions is very ragged,
and capable of being manipulated, if con-
sideted desirable by the bosses" And,
indeed, that is about the size of it, The
counties exercise their own will as to the
manner of and place and time for Sc
lecting delegates. The county executive
committee is supreme. 1t orders a mass
meeting or a primary election. as it
pleases, at any time and place that it
pleases. Mass meetings may be ordered
and "snap action" taken before the peo-
pie have time to consider what is up and
prepare to express themselves. 1t is
charged that something of the kind
was done in Coffee county. And it
is said that in Oconee a meeting was
held nominally for the purpose of electing
an executive committee, but actually to
elect delegates, and that it really did
elect delegates, while only 50 voters were
present. Again, in Telfair the primary
was held II miles from the county seat.
presumably for the purpose of securing
the advantage for favorite candidate
| 1t seems that the state committee could,
and should, make some arrangement to
secure uniformity in the selection of
delegates, if not in the manner, at least in
in the time and place. All the mass meet
ings and primaries could be ordered held
on the same day and at the county seats,
which would put every voter on notice
and prevent anything like sharp prac-
tice to secure unfair advantages. The
sentiment in favor of primary elections
is strong and increasing, and the state
committee might do a good thing by or
derihg the selection of delegates hereaf-
ter by the primary election method. The
matter will probably be brought to the
| attention of the convention.

Looking to the South.

The eyes of the world, just now, are
turned toward the South, because it has
learned to realize the fact that the pos
sibllIties Of the South are greater than
in any other part of the world. The
East, as well AS Europe, derives a great
part of them prosperity from the manu-
f@actuur OF Southern products. Hun
drt,is of millions are making annually
10y changing the lint of cotton into
cloth. In changing iron from the raw
mat, lial iuto the finished product of
steel. there is an immense profit. In
the mining of iron and the manufacture
of the product of iron and steel, the
South has superior advantages. The
lands of the South will produce any
thing that is fonnd outside of the trop-
les, and most IF the peculiar tropical
products. With a climate temperate
and healthful, vast natural
and a population settled and conserva-
tive, no other section can compete with
the South in manufacturing. The South
i sjust now beginning to awake to the
amplitude of her facilities and the mag
niicence of the opportunities within
her grasp. The world is cognizant of
the possibilities of the South, and is
turning its attention this way.-South-
ern Cultivater.
