Perhaps it is folly. perhaps mere habit, TO
talk OF seetional5sm now, thirty years since
the clash Of arms ceased and the reoDle OF
North and South laid down the sword, re-
turned 10 the pursuits OF peace. and resumed
the cultivation of mutual friendship and es-
teem Whatever there has beea OF that per-
Verseness has been pretty thoroughly worn
away by the attraction of d more intimate
intercourse between the people Of the once
contending sections. Bot if auy trace OF it
vet remained if will be completely effaced 10y
the impressions which will be the result of
the Atlanta Interstate and Cotton Exposition.
In the very heart OF the section that was
the theater OF the greatest conflict the world
ever knew, in the very city around which the
opposing armies battled for many weary
months. will be unfolded the great pano-
rama of peace In the name OF the Empire

BY no other means could the South SO well
demonstrate that the old order OF things has
passed away and that on the ruins OF the
ante-bellum South there has arisen new
South which has plueked the flower Success
from the nettle Defeat. and has lis face set
resolutely toward promising future.
II is gratifying 10 know that from every
quarter are coming not only words Of en-
couragement for this great enterprise, but
that energetic aid and effort which are the
surest guarantee Of success. Every dollar
spent in fur:hering and promoting it will lie
like bread east upon the waters, for it will
return a thousand-fold in advancing the ma
terial welfare OF the whole country.

TEE nuTIAW TRACK.

TIE TINES crUsa0e against the outlaw race
track is arousing public opinion and opening
the eyes OF racing patrons to the iniquities of
that organized system Of robbery.
Thus far there has been less dishonesty in
the judges decisions and fewer horses have
been doped to throw races than formerly
marked and made the racing OF the outlaw
management so thoroughly disreputable. But
honesty and legitimate racing cannot be
looked for when the management is so en-
tirely corrupt. And there has been more or
less systematic thievery accordingly.
The shame OF such disgrace almost
within the shadow of our National Capitol
can never De expressed in language. To
know that men and women are being robbed
in the name Of sport on the boundaries of
the most beautiful city in the world is an Tn
speakable humiliation. Here in our midst
are people suffering from want and within
their call is chartered den of thieves whose
pool-box stealings each day are enough to
prevent distress.
Before many days the authorities will be-
gin a series Of prosecutions and the outlaw
track viii be suppressed. Already the guilty
managers are qUaking with fear. for they see
arrest, legal prosecution, and punishment
not far in the future. The money they have
stolen through outlaw racing can not protect
them from the strong hand Of law, and it is
only a question Of time when they will be
brought TO Justice.

WHEN 1 AM DEAD.

When am dead let no vain pomp display
A surface sorrow DER my pulseless clay;
But all the dear old friends loved in life
May shed tear, console my child and wife.
When / am dead let strangers pass ME by,
Nor ask a reason for the how or why
That brought my wandering life to praise
or shame,
Or marked me for the fading flowers or
fame.
When i am dead the vile assassin tongue
VIII try and Danish all the lies it flung,
And make amends for all its cruel wrong,
In fulsome prose and eulogistic song
When am gone some sage for self renown
May urn my ashes in some park or town,
And give, when am cold and lost and dead,
A marble shaft where once needed bread.
When am dead what matters to the crowd,
The world viii rattle on aslong andloud,
And each one in the game of life will plod
The field to glory and the way to God.

A NEW CONGRESS AND A NEW DEAL

The report of the East Washington Citi-
zens' Association gives some important data
concerning municipal lighting. Washington
paws about 30 per cent. more for electric
lighting than is charged in any other city in
the United ates except two. and her gas
costs nearly one-third more than is charged
in any other large city in the world.
In most other cities the prices Of both gas
and electric lighting are regulated by law.
and the public is not subjected to such ex-
tortion as is practieed in this city. The gov
ernments Of these cities are elected 10y the
citizens and their terms OF office depend
upon good behavior. As officials they are
expected TO protect the public from monopo-
lisiie prices. and when they refuse to do
go they are relegated TO private life.
In Washington we look 10 Congress for all
our Jaws. That body depends upon its Dis
trict committees tc recommend those laws,
and past experience has demonstrated that
these committees report no measures that in
terlere with the interests of corporations.
This mOdus operandi Of creating laws for
Washington will account for the high prices
OF gas and electric lighting.
new Congress, with new District CON-
mittees. is likely 10 be called together this
summer. and an effort should be made to OBJ
tain cheaper gas. An organized demand is
necessary to defeat theiaAuence OF the Wash

made by petition and authorized comm4ttees.

LIZZIE USED her FIST.

For the past eighteen months Edward L.
Ferguson has been separated from his wife
Hattie In the meantime he has been
travelling through Pennsylvania and New
Jersey, while the woman, according to her
statement, had TO hustle for a living as best
she could. Friday Edward came back, and
going To his wife's dom cie, demanded ad
mittance. She refused to allow him to
cross the threshold OF her door, when he
retaliated by assauitlng her.
Ferguson was arrested, and yesterday
Judge Miller fined him So or fifteen days
in iail.
The sequel to the story will be told in the
police court to- morrow. When Lizzie
Batter. who lives in the house with Mrs.
Ferguson, heard that the latter he'd pro-
cured a warrant for her husbands arrest,

than eloquent. Lizzie conteIded that a

up to the subject and concluded by knocking
Mrs. Ferguson down. Tomorrow the But
