He Weighs Too Much.

That honored son of Georgia, the Hon.
DINK BoTTs of Dahlonega, WAS recently
nominated for President in 1895 by the
Rochester Times The Nelrs- Observer of
Raleigh prefers HoKE SMITH, but frankly
admits that it regards no Southern states
man as politically available next year:
1T is not probable that any Southern man will be-
nominated IN 1896 but by 1900 It will be proper TO
come South for the nominee. Tho braniest hon
estest and fttest Southern nan for the place would
be the Hon. HoKE sinra. Secretary OF the Interior
Younger than any OF his predecessors his administa
tion OF the Interior Department has been wise as
TO give him rank among the ables: In the United
States"
The main objection to the Hon. HoKE
SMITH, for 1896 or for 1900, Is personal
rather than sectional.
He carries too much flesh. 1t will be a
long time before the Democracy will be in q
mood to stake its fortunes again on any
Presidential candidate weighing more than
three hundred pounds. II we are to have
Georgian in 1895 or 1900, or even in 1904,
let it be Bolts rather than SMITH. Yes,
let it be DINK instead of IIoKE.

| ten-year-old boy ascsrtained that his son was
| overjoyed by the escape of PERRY and his rails
from their dungeon at Matteawan. The lad de-
voured tho daily reports of the incident grew
| excited over the pursuit of the fugitivcs, was
disheartened when the first Of them was nabbed.
and was especially eager that PERRY himself
might evade his pursuers. PERRY seemed to be
his hero. The father, who was interested in this
revelation, questioned his son. who told him
that the other boys in his class at school, his
chums. thought as he did about the case. and
were just as anxious that PERRY should get or
even II he had to shoot. The surprised father
told this story about his good young son to q
friend, who afterward took n favorable occasion
TO sound several newsboys on the subject, all OF
whom were glad that PERRY had escaped from
Mstteawan and wished ho would beat the de-
tectivcs. Now, the first boy spoken of in this
story was certainly not n wicked one, and IL Is
unlikely that his chums at school were wicked:
and even the newsboys may not have been very
wicked. But all OF them are admirers otPERRY,
the fugitive hishwayman. The case seems to us
deserving of the study Of NoRDAU, LoMBRoso,
anu KIDD while they are looking for degencrates
In the recesses of degeneration.
We have philosophy unlike NoRDAu's that
may be applicable to the case. A short time
ago we told of great bull fight in the Mexican
city OF Chihuahua. The mntador was famous.
anu 80 was the bull. When the matador
plunged his long sword into the body OF the
bull, near its heart. the multitude of spectators
cheered to the top OF their bent. AS the fight
grew hot there was fierce cheering over the
bold act OF one combatant or the other, and
when at last the bull gored the great matador
to death and trampled upon him. the whole
body OF the spectators checred as in an ecstasy
Of delight. Why this cheering? They cheered
with satisfaction over the feats Of the matador
or over those Of the bull. They cheered for
SKILL for audacity for success. for the vic
tor. They cheered for certain qualities or deeds
of the combatants that excited their admiration.
1t was just so. we take it. with the good boy
and the other boys who were gaddened by
PERRI's escape. PERRY, in their opinion. was
bold fellow, a clever fellow. who had done a
big thing and 1t was for this reason that they
dotted upon him. just as some older folks. who
are not unusual deGererates. would extol cer-
tain deeds Of several of CARLYLE's heroes who
were other than models of virtue. The whole
thing can be understood better BY studous
perusal of Heroes and Hero Worship"

Corn Island.

We should not be justified in taking Sc
riously the suggestion that Nicaragua may
Offer to lease or cede Corn Island to Great
Britain in lieu of the SO, ZOO which the
latter has demanded as indemnity for the eN-
pulsion Of HATCH.
Such a lease or cession OF territory, to be
used as a naval station, would be distinctly
unfriendly to the United States and just
now the friendship of this country is too i'm
portant for Nicaragua to risk.
The Corn Islands, for there are two OF
them, lie northeast of Bluefelds, the larger
about two score miles from the coast, and
q hundred from Greytown, and are not far
from the track Of many Of the vessels that
will use the ship canal Great Corn Island
IL said to be about five miles long, rocky,
yet giving a good anchorage and shelter for
vessels going TO the lee of the island. 1t
contains, according to the accounts, several
hundred inhabitants, mostly Indians while
a few English and American traders control
such commerce in tropical products as it has.
1t is not to be assumed that Nicaragua
would part with this island for any such
sum as the $4,000 involved in the dispute
with England. Nor is it to be supposed that
by making such an offer she would seek to
frighten our country into supporting her
cause against Great Britain. 1t would be a
sorry and stupid game to play, and she
needs no trickcry.

NEW YORK. April le-Thcre was some private talk

call slang! Dialect is not slang. Neither is It a
collection OF popular or yulgate names for

without the consent Of France, and that Mr..
| WALLER received last year a very valuable
tract of land covered with India-rubber
trees. French residents engaged in the rub
Der business protested against this grant as
against their interests, and France insisted
that it came within the terms Of the protec-
torate giving her the sole right to represent
Madagascar in foreign relations.
Without going into the merits OF that
claim, or of the counter assertion Of the
Malagasy Government that the matter
was purely one OF internal administration
and business yet II is plain why the sus-
picion arose that Mr.. WALLER might have
been pursued vindictively, either out of
revenge for his obstinacy in not yielding
to the French and in embroiling them with
the Hovas, or in order to get possession Of
his lands 1t was also surmised that CORE
spondence on business might perhaps have
been distorted into the reports Of a spy, or
even that some imprudence in expression,
taken together with his known and natural
sympathies, had been exaggerated with
view to punish him.
In the absence Of clear official news as to
the evidence brought up at the trial, it
is still uncertain whether the severe SEN
tence passed against him was or was not
just. But his removal to France suggests
that his business interests in the islands may
now be left with no one to care for them,
as we'll. On the other hand, it will at least
give Minister EUsTIs a chance to see him
at once on his arrival in France, and to
ascertain whether this American citizen ffas
been outraged and deprived of his rights.

there are large sections in the Northwest where Ger

not cater to foreigners living here by practices cacu-

The state should follow the same line of policy
