Bicycle Tale No. LISA.

The Duchess of Pomposet was writing,
poor thing, on the horns of a dilemma,
says Puck She was the greatest of great
ladies, full of fire and fashion, and with
purple blush (she was born that color
flung bangly arms round the neck of her
lord and master. The unfortunate man
was a shocking sufferer, having a bad
unearned increment, and enduring con-
slant pain on account of his back being
broader than his views.
"Pomposet," she cried, ''Duky, darlingr'
(When first married she had ventured
to apostrophise him as "ducky but his

The Students Athletic Association Of
Vassar College had a field day of athletic
sports the other day. No men were per
mittcd TO witness the contests. There
were foot races, high jumps and other
athletic exercises. The contestants wore
boomers or divided skirts. 1t is told that
one runner wore rubber overshoes in a
1o0-yard race, because the earth was
damp. In another of the contests there
was heard a sound of ripping, and,
but it is nobody's business, and ought
not to be commented on. She probably
made the boomers herself. and thought
the thread used was strong enough 1t
is whispered that nearly every one of
the girls in the foot races reached around
to gather up skirts when the starter said
go" and that, finding no skirts to lift
they got as red as carnations in the face.
The girls will probably not send a chll-
lenge across to England for several sea-
sons yet.

The baggage smnsher Talks a Little

"Women have as little idea of business
as cats" observed a baggage smasher in
an expansive mood the other day, ac-
cording to the Philadelphia American.
They come down here, and they ex-
pect us TO tend to them and their trunks
right off, no matter how many people
are ahead of 'en. An they can't see
why we won't do 1t, neither. One of EN-
came down here the other day, and saws
to me: I want my trunk right orr Have
you a check for it, ma'am?' says l. OF
course not she says, 1 want you to
check ii for me-. How can you identity
it, ma'am" says 1. You have
to have check of some sor,
to make sure that the transfer com
pany's brought the right trunk
We'll, l guess l ought to know my own
trunk she says. It's sure to be the big
gest one in the place. and it has A B.
c. on one end and New York City on the
other, and it's lock isn't a bit like most
trunk locks, and DO you see your
trunk anywhere around here, ma'am?-
I asked No, l don't she says. The facc
is, ii isn't down here yet, but 1 want you
to send 1t after me, you know And il
you'll believe it, that woman couldn';
understand why ] wouldn't do it, She
stood there and argued the thing with me
for nearly half an hour, keeping q LOT
of other folks waiting" From which In
would appear that like most everything
else baggage smashing has its other
side"

The populist party of this state has a
way of doing misunderstanding its ten
cts of faith and marking out plans of
campaign-that is simple, direct and mex
pensive. Tom Watson and a few of his
chums get together in an office, knock
their heads together, and announce a
brand new programme. whenever the old
one becomes shop-worn or worm-eaten
For instance, it is announced that the
populist party of Georgia has abandoned
the sub-treasury demand and will go be-
fore the people in the next campaign
upon a clean cut demand for the free
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 TO l.
and not a great deal else besides. Mr.
Watson settled all of that at a meeting
of his executive committee in Atlanta
the other day, and signed statement 10
that effect, it is stated. has been sent
out. Some Of the populists in the ranks
may feel inclined to kick at the summary
disposal Of the principles" for which
they have fought and made speeches for
several years. But what can they do
about it?

WnttersOn on the Situation.
From an Interview.

When he was in Atlanta the other day
Henry Watterson said: Il am out of the
knock-down and drag-out politics which
factionalism and favoritism and selfish
personal ambition have projected upon
the country. l have never had any stOm-
ach for the concrete things of DoliticaI
life. i regard office as kind of brib-
cry. As long as it seemed that moral
forces and organized ideas were objective
points, I was ready to do my part. But
great politics have yielded to petty
wrangles. After my lecture season is
over I am going abroad with my family
for year Perhaps, when the inevitable
result of the prevailing overflow of rant
and fustian has been reached, the demo-
cratic party may begin TO put two and
two together with the aim of making
four. AS il Is. if one of the prophets
should rise from the dead. he could not
restore order to this chaos. We have in
fact no democratic party at all-merely
an asglomeration OF quiddities thrown
together by the upheaval of the times-a
monster without a head, running wild
through q wilderness of. political incerti-
tude."

Why Gold Is BEING Exported.


It is a remarkable condition Of af-
fairs that makes it necessary 10 export
gold at this season Of the year II is an
nounced that 100000 viii be shipped to-
day. When the exporting Of gold ceased
in September it was confidently believed
that our exports Of cotton and wheat
would soon cause gold to flow i'm this d.
rection. II normal conditions had pre-
vailed in Europe this would have
been the case. But conditions there have
been and are now such as 10
excite the attention Of the whole hnan-
cal world. For several months there
was extraordinary speculation in South
Africa gold mining shares. The specula-
ton extended TO all classes Of people.
Enormous premiums were paid for the
shares. The rich invested their hundreds
OF thousands Of dollars in them and the
comparatively poor drew their savings
from the banks and invested in them.
hoping to make small fortunes in a few
weeks. The craze for speculation in
these shares was not confined to London
1t extended to Paris, Berlin, Vienna and
other cities. The expected has happened
There has been a loss Of confidence in
these shares and the price of them has
fallen greatly. Thousands Of people have
lost the accumulations of years and many
people who were r.ch have been inan-
cially ruined.
But how did this craze for speculation
cause renewal Of gold shipments from
this country? The question is easily
answered. Millions of dollars worth Of
these South African mining shares were
held on margins, the money for the mar
gins being obtained by pledgins Amer
lean securities. When the price of the
shares fell the margins were wiped out
and the securities were sold. The sell
ing Of such a vast quantity Of American
securities caused the price of them to
fall, and they were sent back TO this
country where there was a better mar
ket for thcm. The volume Of the securi-
ties returned has been so great that
our exports Of cotton, wheat and other
products have not been sufficient to pay
for them. Hence gold is being exported
for that purpose.
Whether or not more gold will be ex-
ported VIII depend largely upon wheth-
er the panic in South African mining
shares continues Whether or not it will
continue win be determined to a great
extent by the developments which are
expected two weeks hence. when settle
ments are to be made.
one thing that has had a tendency to
depress the mining shares is the fear
of great European war. There is plen-
ty Of war talk. BY many it is believed
that war is inevitable, and that it will
come very soon. LORD Salisbury's speech
at the dinner of the Lord Mayor of Lon
don last week tended to confirm this be-
lief. There is a very considerable war
scare in Europe and all sorts of securi-
ties are feeling the effects of it. Even
British consols, the steadiest of all Eu-
ropean securities, have declined from
two to two and half points
If the scare passes and the decline in
the prices of South African mining shares
are checked there will be no more gold
exports this year If. however the
panic increases we may lose a good deal
of gold before Jan. l.

Naturally the members of the New York
Yacht Club are indignant at the charge
of rascality which Lord Dunraven has
brought against the Defender syndicate.
and they have reason to be. If the charge
is true they would no longer be entitled
would not be so regarded. No one in this
country, however. believes the charge
and it is doubtful if any decent man
in England believes Il. 1t would be pretty
believe it. If he believed it he would
have made the charge at a time when it
could have been thoroughly investigated.
He waited TO make it until be returned to
England, where he hoped to find a few
people who would sympathize with him
in his disappointment at his failure to
win the Americas cup.
But what must be thought of a man
who would bring such charge against
a number of gentlemen who had treated
him with the greatest kindness and hos
pitality-a charge which he does not ap-
pear to support with evidence of any sort?
Lord Dunravens action is sufficient to
Justify the New York Yacht Club in ask
ing for his resignation, he being a mem
Der of that club. He may not be given a
chance to resign. His relations with the
club may be severed without the formal
ity of a resignation.

Vice President Stevenson has at least
profited by his experience in the chair of
presiding officer Of the Senate. He sell
dom ever has anything 10 say there, and
he has learned to keep up a most discreet
and eloquent silence while out of the
chair, with regard to certain questions.
Newspaper men have lately been trying
TO pump from him an opinion as to the
effect of the recent elections upon the sill
yer question. But never a word will he
utter for publication. He is supposed to
be a silver man.

than it ever was in America. The dram
atization of the novel is being pro-
duced at the Haymarket theater, Lon
don. and the house is not only crowded
nightly. but seats are sold many weeks
in advance. 1t is said Mr.. Du Maurier
has already put more than $4,000 into his
pocket as the profits from sales of the
book, and royalties on the dramatization,
and his income from each of the two
sources is steadily increasing.

Not All Bad.
From the Detroit Free Press DemO.

We have said something elsewhere of
the uses of party adversely as suggested
by the results of the recent elections but
it should be borne in mind that the re-
suit was not altogether adverse. With
scarcely an exception the republicans
failed to maintain the gain made a year
ago, and where the democracy were beat
en- ii was mainly through their own re-
volt against party mismanagement, and
the folly or worse of leaders and candi-
dates. In point of capacity to work sout
that reform within the party which
has so long been the shibboleth of the re-
pubhcans-and only the shibboleth-the
democracy has shown itself far in ad-
vance of its opnonents.

The Chicago Excursionists.

We shall have more than thousand of
the representative citizens of Chicago in
our city tomorrow They will be our
guests. They are coming on our invita-
ton. They must have an enjoyable time.
We want them to feel when they have
returned to their homes that the pleasant
est day of their trip to the south was
spent in Savannah. We want them to re-
member Savannah not only on account
of the beauty of our city. but also because
of the warmth of their reception.
Their reception must be hearty one.
Every one who can should lend helping
hand to make it so. The committees have
arranged their programme and they pro-
pose carrying it out to the letter. To do
that they have not yet received all the as
sistance they need. Give them all the help
that is necessary. Make the occasion a
memorable one.
A Philadelphia contemporary expresses
the hope that the people of South Carolina
will repudate the new constitution of the
state that is being constructed under the
guidance of Senator Tillman at Columbia.
Our contemporary is evidently not very
well posted with regard to the conven-
ton. 1t is not the purpose of the consti-
tuition makers to submit their work to the
people. They hold that they are them
selves 1.-The people," and competent to do
anything they may please, and that the
voters arc bound to accept whatever
they do. 1t is customary to regard a con
vention of any kind as merely a repre-
sentative body. The work of political
conventions are always referred back to
the people for Endorsement at the polls.
When the fundamental law of the com
monwealth is the matter at issue it is
more than ever important that it should
have the sanction of the people to be
governed under it, by direct expression.
and not through second parties. But the
South Carolinians do not look at it that
way. Unfortunately. there have been
other constitutions adopted in South Car
DINA without submission to the popular
vote, though the constitution that is to
be superseded by the one now in process
of construction was ratified at a popu-
lar election. The bosses of the reconstruc-
ton period at least made bluff at ac-
ceding to the will of the majority of pub
lie opinion.
