A FnmiIv Picture.

Many a portrait painter might write
an amusing II not an instructive book.
on the vanitie and eccenricities OF his
sitters, says the Pittsburg Dispatch A
man once went to COpiey and ordered a
family group of his wife and himself and
seven children. When it was completed
ne appeared one day with a miniature in
his hand.
There" said he, the picture wants
only one thing, and that is portrait of
my first wife. You can add it from the
miniature"
But she is dead" said the artist in
anna cement. "she could only come in as
an angel. Of course.
oh, no, not at ALL" replied his patron,
with decision. she must come in as a
woman"
The portrait was added, and some time
elapsed before the man came to see Cop
ley again. At last he appeared with a
strange lady upon his arm.
Il must have another, Copley," he said.
cheerfully. An accident befell my second
wife, very sad This lady is my third, and
she has come TO have her portrait included
in the family picture"
The portrait was painted. and the hus-
band was much pleased. But his third
spouse had evidently not been fully aware
of the state of the case, and declared
that her predecessors could not remain
in the group.
Accordingly Copley obliterated the other
two portraits, and then had to bring an
action at law to obtain payment for the
work he had painted out.

Changes Ia the city Charter.


The changes ia the city charter sug-
gested by the mayor in his inaugural ad-
dress should be made Until they are
made 81 viii continue 10 be a difficult
matter TO get nrst-ciass business men 10
become candidates for aldermen. Too
much Of the time Of the council is taken
up with the details Of the management
Of The police. fire ard other departments.
Each Of these departments should be
managed by a commission. The munic-
ipal government Of Savannah. with
5000 inhabitants is about what it was
when she had only about 10000.
In the Old days, the protection of life
and property in the city limits was in
trusted TO the city marshal during the day
and to two or three watchmen at night.
The fire department was composed Of
a number Of hand engines. manned by
black men, who had white men for Off
GERS, and Two or three volunteer fire
companies. There were no water works.
no paved streets. and but little drainage.
From this statement it can be readily
seen that aldermen mad very little TO do.
Possibly-they had as much fun and squab-
bling at their meetings as the aldermen
of the. present time. but the whole board
did NOT have as much actual work to at
tend to as the board now often has to
do in a week. t....-
AT present it. is simply impossible for
an alderman who has a large business
to do justice to both his business and
his official duties. Those Who make good
aldermen have to sacrifice their private
interests.
The city council should be what its
name implies. a council to direct the gen
eral policy of the city government. The
details should be attended to by COM
missions ana competent executive Off
GERS.
We do not wish TO be understood as
fayoring a system Of expensive COM
Missions. Competent men for such com
m.ssions as are needed could be readily
found who would serve without other
compensation than the honor of the po-
sitions. There are such commissions
now-the school board for instance
that are paid nothing for their services.
Their acts would of course be subject
TO the supervision. Of the council.
In amending the city charter it is to
be hoped that the need of a commission
TO take charge Of the parks and squares
will not be overlooked. There should
be a permanent commission composed of
men who are acquainted with shrubbery
and tree culture. and who would take
pleasure and pride in beautifying the city.
For a considerable time the trees Of the
city have been practically neglected.

Ex-GOv Francis of Missouri said day
or two ago that "one-quarter of the entire
time of the governor is taken mp in the
consideration of appeals for the pardon of
criminals" The statement, made at a
club meeting at St Louis, was pertinent,
because the Missouri legislature was at
the time considering the ACCESSIBILITY Of
taking the pardoning power out of the gov
ernor's hands. GOV. Francis stated the re-
suit OF his personal experience: and the
experience of every governor is probably
very similar. The harassing incidents
connected with the hearing of appeals for
pardons must be a great strain upon the
nerves Of the governors, and one result
undoubtedly is that many criminals who
deserve severe punishment are the recip-
tents of executive clemeney. Several
states have relieved their governors of
this trying duty of hearing and deciding
such appeals by turning the affairs over
to "A board of pardons, and at least two
states-A Missouri and Wfsconsin-are at
present considering the ACCESSIBILITY OF DO
ing likewise.

The definition which Senator Hin gave
of party duty Ia his speech at the Demo
cratic club in New York Saturday night
is an admirable one. but at this particu-
lar time the country wants Of Senator
Hin and other democrats in congress deeds
rather than definitions. The country IS
suffering from a lack OF confidence in the
ability Of the government to maintain
gold payments. II is well understood how
confidence can be restored. The democrats
in congress can do what should be done.
They have a majority ia both Houses.
and they can depend upon help from some
Of the republicans. What is lacking is a
leader-a leader capable of proposing a
measure that would save the country's
credit and strong enough TO bring TO it's
support the necessary majority TO pass IT,
tits evident that the senator is ambitious
to be the standard bearer OF his party in
1886. He could do nothing that would
bring him into greater prominence or do
more to strengthen him as a presidential
candidate than to open a way by which
the country could escape from its present
financial difficulties.
While it is true that ne is not the most
popular democrat in the Senate stin he
has a great deal OF strength there. The
fact that he represents the greatest state
in the union gives him an influence that
few other senators have. and that, com
bined with his ability. which is conceded.
gives him a great deal of power. If he
should set himself earnestly to work 10
have passed within the next four weeks
a bin to relieve the treasury of its embar-
easements and protect the credit of the
government, the chances are that he would
be successful. and II he was successful he
would have a much stronger hold upon
the people OF his state and. in fact, of the
whole country than he has ever yet had.
The reason that nothing is being done
TO avert the peril which threatens the ma
TONS credit is that no plan Of action has
been suggested that commands the fun
democratic strength. Each little group
that demands this or that kind of legisla-
ton insists that what it wants done is
the right thing to do, In the meantime
the evil from which the country is suffer
has the courage to come TO the front and
point out that democrats are not doing
their duty. that they are not living mp to
their pledges to the people and that they
are not making the sacrifices for the pub
lie welfare which the people expect OF
them.
Senator Hnl might not succeed II he
were to undertake 10 secure the kind Of
legislation that is needed. but even if he
should not he would make friends of those
who would be helpful to him in his efforts
to advance his political fortunes in the
future.
His speech at the Democratic Club Of
New York Is calculated to make men
whose good opinion is valuable think
more kindly of him. but he would have
the good VIII OF all classes Of the people
If he should succeed in getting the coun-
try out of its present financial trouble.
He has an oportunity now to show
whether or not ne is the great man his
friends claim he Is. Win he improve the
opportunity?

Keeping Down the Cotton Acreage


At New Orleans the impression among
cotton factors and buyers, as gained from
publications in the papers of that city
is that If the next cotton crop is as large
% the present one the price Of cotton
Will fan below cents a pound, and that
it may 60 as low as 3 cents at the ports.
There Is no doubt that there is ground
for this impression There is SO much
ground for it that cotton planters ought
to be warned by it.
We have no confidence in the various
plans that are being advocated for reduc-
ing the cotton acreage. The effect they
viii have viii be so small as TO be hardly
appreciate. The low price of cotton is
what will induce the planters to reduce
production II cotton cannot be raised
at a profit the tendency VIII be to culti-
vate less OF ii. If u farmer can make
more out of grain and stock, or tobacco,
or some other crop, he is going to give
very little attention to cotton.
In some localities cotton can be grown
at much less cost than IN others, ana in
those localities the reduction in cotton
acreage VIII be very sHlaA. IN AeNtS
the growers OF cotton are not greatly de-
pressed by the low price of the staple.
The yield there the last season was
very large, and as the farmers, as a
general rule, do their own farm work,
they have not been affected SO seriously
as the cotton growers in some of The
other states by the low price II is not

as ever will be planted this year in that
state. If, however. the price continues to
fail, owing to overproduetion, even the
Texas farmers win be forced 10 give less

If the Washington correspondents
know what they are talking about. the
trial of Capt Howgate, the ex-signal SER
vice official. which was begun at Wash

some very sensational features. 1t

life in the administration that governed
when Howgate was in Office were con-

These relationships. it is supposed, will
be exposed during the trial.
