awhile, as the old mare was so gentle
that my wife could drive her about town

Albany who had a mania on the subject

Mhitncy a FnvorItc.

II the Herald is reliably informed. there
is good deal of talk among leading dem
ocrats of New York in favor of making
Mr.. William C. whitney the next nominee
of the Democratic party for President.
There is no doubt that Mr.. Whitney is one
of the strongest Of the recognized leaders
Of the Democratic party He is a man of
first-class ability. and wherever he is per
sonaliy known he is extremely popular.
Under Mr.. Cleveland's first administration
he rendered excellent service as Secretary
of the Navy
1t is stated that Mr.. Whitney will not
enter into a scramble for the nomination.
While he would like to have it. he is not
so anxious for 1t as to enter upon a reg
ular campaign to secure it. II it should
come to him unsought he would accent il.
The only thing Of Importance that can
be alleged against Mr.. Whitney is that he
Is a very rich man, and by marriage is re-
lated to some of the Standard Oil monopo-
lists. However, the fact that he is rich
would cut no great figure in the campaign
II he should be nominated. He has not
used his wealth TO injure any class of
people. and it is not at all likely that he
would do SO, even if he had the oppor-
tunity.
II Is alleged that Mr.. Cleveland favors
his nomination, and has been consulted bv
Mr.. Whitney's friends in respect to the
matter. 1t is even reported that Mr.. Cleve-
land has promised to use the influence Of
the administration to get the nomination
for him. 1t can be safely assumed that
that report has no foundation. No doubt
Mr. Cleveland has high appreciation of
Mr.. Whitney's fitness for the position of
democratic leader. and probably would. at
the proper time. do what he could with
propriety to assist him in getting the NOM
nation, but that he has committed him
self to Mr.. Whitney. or said or done any
thing to justify a statement that Mr..
Whitney is his candidate. is extremely
doubtful.
Only day or two ago it was said that
Ambassador Bayard is Mr. Cleveland's
candidate, and tomorrow or next day il
may be said that Mr. Carlisle or some
other prominent democratic leader is his
candidate.
As Mr.. Cleveland is a strong party man
and believes the good of the country re-
quires the continuance in power of the
Democratic party, it is safe to say that
his candidate for the presidential nomina-
ton is the man who. in the estimation of
his party and the country, stands the best
chance Of being elected There is as yet
no concensus of opinion as to whether that
man is Mr.. Whitney, Mr.. Bayard. Mr.. Car
Isle or some other man. But whoever he
is. it is quite certain that when nominated
Mr.. Cleveland will do what he can legiti-
mately to have him elected.

Safety In the National CapitoI

"A foxy looking old chap about sixty
years of age, with whiskerS which looked
as if they had grown in Kansas. and
clothes which looked as if they had been
made in England, ambled into the rotun-
da of the capitol the other day, accom-
panied by his wife, a woman weighing in
the neighborhCOd of two hundred saws
the Washington Star OF course. the
couple at once caught every guides eve
and a rush was made for the strangers
on the spot, but the old fellow stood the
crowd of. He chaffed them awhile good
naturedly, and then passed on to see the
sights as he pleased. In the course of an
hour he came back to the rotunda alone,
and took a seat on one of the benches
a guide spotted him and came over to
have some fun with him.
Where's your wife?" inquired the cap
itol director.
shes som eres around lookin' at
things" responded the visitor
by herself?' and the guides question
would have indicated that the husband
was quite remiss in his duty TO permit
his wife to go about alone.
"Of course. What's the difference?''
wen, you don't know what might hap
pen TO her in a great building like this
is said the guide, whose business it was
not to let any more people go about there
alone than he could prevent. She might
get lost, or something"
The old fellow sat back with an air of
perfect confidence and satisfaction.
oh" he said. she's all right. Con-

I'm Growing old.

John G.. SAKE.
My days pass pleasantly away;
My nights are blest with sweetest sleer
feel no symptoms of decay;
nave no cause to mourn or weep;
My foes are impotent ana shy,
My friends are neither false nor cold,
And yet, Of late, l often sigh
I'm growing old!
My growing talk of olden times,
My growing thirst for early news.
My growing apathy TO rhymes,
My growing love for easy shoes.
My growing hate of crowds and noise.
My growing fear of taking cold,
All whisper in the plaineSt voice
I'm growing old!
I'm growing fonder of my staff;
I'm growing DINNER in the eyesE
I'm growing fainter in my laugh;
I'm growing deeper in my signs;
I'm growing careless in my dress;
I'm growing frugal of my gold;
m growing wise; I'm groWing-yes-
I'm growing old!

L see 1t in my growing heir;
A thousand signs proclaim the truth.
AS plain as truth was ever told,
That even in my Wanted youth,

Time TO Call a Halt.

We think that all men in the south WIZ
are Interested in promoting southern pros
/ perity believe that something should b,
done at once 10 check crimes OF violence
/ A few days ago we called attention 10 dis
/ patches that appeared in one issue OF The
! Morning News which told OF the death
| Of five persons in Florida from violence
4 They had been shot 10 death. In yester-
days issue OF the Morning News there are
accounts Of the shooting TO death of -four
persons. two near Baton Rouge. Louis
lana. and two at Versailles. Kentucky.
IN each instance the deadly weapons were
used deliberately
If such instances OF violence were unus-
ual there would be no good reason for
calling attention 70 them. But they are
not unusual. They are common. Ac-
counts Of one or more homicides appear
in the newspapers almost every day.
What is the cause Of this condition Of az
fairs, and what is the remedy?
A great cause, and we believe the chief
cause. is the failure Of the courts TO
convict those who are guilty Of murder
or attempts to commit murder. There
is little fear of punishment Now and
then black man is hung. 1t is seldom
that white man is either hung or sent
TO the penitentiary.
It Is not uncommon TO hear white men
say they would not hesitate 10 use a dead
ly weapon if they had a sufficient provi-
cation. and they would DO so feeling they
would not be punished if they took a hu-
man life. although they did so unlawfully
If the laws were promptly and vigorously
enforced they would think twice before
using a deadly weapon. except in self
defense. And they would not pick quar-
rels in order to get a chance to use deadly
weapons.
Another great incentive to commit
crimes Of violence is the public sentiment
which encourages lynchings. Lynchings
show a contempt for the courts. and as
long as that feeling exists crimes Of vio-
lence are certain to be of frequent occur
renee. Those who believe that lynchings,
in communities in which there is all the
machinery for enforcing the laws. tend
to check crime, are mistaken. Experience
shows they are. The crimes are commit
ted notwithstanding the lynchings. Lynch
in5s destroy respect for the courts, and
hence encourage the commission of crime.
The only remedy for the evils to which
we call attention is the prompt and vigor-
Gus enforcement of the laws by the prop
er tribunals. Every person charged with
crime should be tried without unneces-
sary delay, and the courts should see to
it that juries do their duty. The press
and the pulpit should unite in creating
public sentiment that would not tolerate
verdicts that excuse crime.

Mrs. Mobiles. who is in the Macon Jail.
Is proving an interesting study TO some
folks who desire a little relaxation from
the silver question. She has been lately
seeing visions and talking more or less
philosophically, Notwithstanding she does
not know one letter from another and
probably never saw the inside Of a school
house. She says she saw her husband in
vision the other night and that he was
not cross with her a bit for killing him

Clubs and the sunday LAW.

Eventually. if the Sunday law against
the sale of intoxicants continues TO be en-
forced in cities, the social clubs will have
to close their bars. Already in New York
the question has been raised whether it is
strictly just to allow the sale of liquors
in clubs on Sundays and prohibit their
sale in saloons. The excuse for clubs is,
of course. that the club is the home of its
members.
In New Orleans the social club privilege
is being abused. Clubs which are nothing
more than drinking places are being form
ed all over the city. one Of the circuit
court judges Of that city has rendered a
decision on the question whether social
clubs come within the scope Of the Sunday
law.
The president of one of the leading clubs
has been indicted twice for permitting
liquor to be sold at the club on Sunday.
The decision in question was rendered on
a demurrer intended to test the question
Of the amenability of social clubs to the
Sunday law. The judge held that the or
ganizing of a social club would be an
easy, available and effective way of evad-
ing the law, and would rather encourage
than suppress the evils intended to be cor
rected, nor would it be of any practical
use to urge upon the court the distinction
between a bonafide social club and one or
ganized as a device to defeat the law"
From this opinion it appears that in
New Orleans the social club, whether a
genuine institution or organized to de-
feat the law, is amenable to the Sunday
liquor law.

Senator PETER said the other day in the
course of a speech on Staten Island that
the farmers had the rest of the world in
their power Let the farmers agree not
to plant for one year" said he, land the
world will starve." The senator evidently
does not read the papers. Does ne not
know that the German scientists have dis
covered a way TO make bread from saw
dust and 10 extract sugar from turf?
Therefore. so long as trees ana grass
grow, the farmers would be wise to refrain
from trying to starve the world.

Campos needs a new editor to handle
his war dispatches intended to be sent
to the, outside world. The fellow who is
now welding the blue pencil is not even
an, artistic prevaricator. Nobody is go
ing to believe that eighty Spanish soldiers
are more than a match for 2OO well-armed
insurgents. and that in almost every
scrimmage the insurgents are either prac-
tically wiped out or are dispersed with
heavy losses. while the Spaniards get off
unscratched. If Campos would employ a
skilled editor one who would seek TO make
his dispatches plausible. he might make
capital out of his muzzling of the press,
but under existing arrangements his in
formation bureau is positive drawback
to his cause.
