leisurely tore open letter just received

the description to dot.
1t was but a moments work to nab

day deputy arrived from Triton and
carried the negro back to The scene OF
his CRIME, where he will remain in Jail

An Unfortunate Man.

Mr. Charles Johnson, of New York, is
one of the unluckiest men living, and he
is IN a fair way to be crushed by circum-
stances over which he has no control.
A short time ago Mr.. Johnson fell
three stories and cracked his skull. This
was bad enough, but when jury award
ed him damages for his injuries the de-
PENDANT failed and he got little or moth
ing. The worst, however, was still to
come. He had employed medical
expert to testify to the nature and extent
of his wounds, and because he is unable
to pay the mans fee under an order Of
the court he is now serving three months
for contempt in Raymond street jail.
1t is peculiar case, and should be re-
corded among the curiosities of justice.
Here is a man who is innocent, with a
good case, as the verdict shows, and
because the defendants have failed to
pay him the amount of his judgment
he must be punished like a felOn. 1t
strikes us that the New York code needs
Overhauling.

NORTH GE0RGIA'S GREED.
1T WANTS AND GETS ALL THE
OFFICES.
Men Sent From There to Fill south
Georgia Offices. Collector Tram
nell Taken TO Task.

nell Taken to Task.
From the Thomasyille Advertiser.
The political hoggishness of north
Georgia has formed the text for many
newspaper Story, but were it not for this
state of affairs this story could not be
written.
Several days ago Internal Revenue Col
lector G. W. Martin. of Lee county, was
removed from office.
When this was done it was naturally
supposed that the vacancy would be ill
ed by appointment, and the still more
natural supposition was that a. south
Georgia man would be selected to fill
this vacancy in south Georgia, and a
number Of gentlemen turned their eyes
toward the nice little plum the appoint
ment represented.
But those who had any such supposi-
tions as those mentioned above reckOneG
without calculating on the capacity of
Atlanta and tie region around there.
Many were the EXPLANATIONS of sur
prise when Collector Trammell, of At
lanta, telegraphed that "there was no
vacancy"
This was hard to understand in view
of the fact that everybody knew that Col
lector Martin had been removed from
office.
When he was decapitated Collector
Moses was set out from Atlanta to take
charge of the office, but it was thought
that this was only done until man
could be appointed.
But it seems that Collector Trammell
has queered the wiregrass boys and paid
a political debt
At the time Collector Trammell was
appointed, Moses, who is a brother of
Congressman Moses, Of the fourth dis
trict, and another gentleman were con,
6estants for the position of chief deputy,
and so hot was the fight that compro-
mise was effected by Moses being given
the place for two years, and he was then
20 give way for the other gentleman, who
was to serve the remaining two years.
This man is named Jones. Ia the two
years Moses was serving Jones had to
content himself with the small job OF
government guager.
Moses time having expired Jones went
in, and Moses had to be provided for, as
it was evident that he possessed a full
grown ''pull," so Mr.. Martin was decap-
itated and the office supplied" from
Atlanta, and the supply is the original
Moses. Thus the wiregrass democracy
has been euchred out of this position to
crafty the apparently Unsuitable greed
of the north GeOrgians for office
This arrangement does not suit the
democrats of this section at all, and some
very effective kicking may be the result.
The democrats down here feel that the
great maiolities given in recent elections
entitle them to something more than fur
nishing offices for people who come from
a section of the state that can barely
show a clear democratic majority in
hard fought battle.
This way of appropriating a south
Georgia office may be eminently salts
factory to Collector Trammell, but he
will perhaps soon find out that it is not
at all pleasant to the people of this sc
tion, who seriously object to furnishing
votes and Offices to be supplied" from
Atlanta.
To do the proper thing Collector Tram
nell should fiji the office with some good
man who lives in the district.

He Who Hesitates Is Lost.

But there are other evidences of gold
bug treason to the party. The Evening
Times, an attachment of The Courier
Journal, this afternoon asks for time in
which to stady General Hardin's speech,
thus filling up the hiatus in the morning
edition.
The Evening Post, another goldbug
or Ean, comes cut in an editorial this
afternoon calling upon General Hardin
to withdraw from the race, and urging
the state central committee to name
another candidate in his place. This
shows the covert purpose of those who
are seeking to destroy the democratic
party.
General Hardin, however,is undisturb
ed by these desertions from democracy.

LOUISVILLE, KY, August 20.-The

Across the street from The Courier
Journal is the Office of German paper
called The Anzieger. AS it was Il o'clock
at night before General Hardin's speech
was through, it was consequently mid
night before an editorial could have been
placed in type. Yet, by some strange
sort of understanding, The Courier
Journal heard of The Anzieger's project

was translated by the Dutch editor. and
printed in The Courier Journal of this

A CYCLONE TEARS THROUGH A
PORTION OF IOWA.
Property Damage Great, and Many
Lives Are Lost, the Exact Number

Omaha, May "a special to the Bee
from Sioux City, Ia, says dispatches
were received there by the Sioux City
& Northern Railway company at 4:30
this afternoon, from their agent at
Sioux Centre, forty-f1ve miles northeast
of here, telling of a terrible cyclone
near there, in which a number of PEG
pie were killed and injured and much
property destroyed The wires where
the storm was were blown down and
telegraphic reports are consequently
very meagre. The dispatch received
by the Northern road said the cyclone
passed three miles northeast of there
at $50. Schoolhouses near the town
were destroyed, teachers were killed
and a number of children were killed
and injured.
The whole country in the path of the
storm was devastated. The Sioux City
& Northern track between Perkins and
Doom was washed out for several
miles. Dispatches from Sioux Centre
at $50 p. m say three schoolhouses
and at least twenty residences and
barns were swept away.
Later-Defnite reports are begin
ming to come in as to the path followed
by the cyclone. The storm originated
about mile and a half southwest of
Sioux Centre. 1t moved from there in
a northeasterly direction and passed
directly through Perkins, a small town

st. Petersburg. May "a semi-ofi-
cial statement has been issued here,
dealing at length with the situation of
affairs in the far east. 1t declares that
the maintenance of the status quo on
the Chinese mainland is a political
necessity. Whatever the issue of the
present struggle, a realization of Jap
anese claims would entirely abolish the
fictitious independence of the Coreant
and place in Japan's hands the key to
China's capital. Moreover. Russia and
France would be compelled, in their
own interests, to ward off their from
tiers any cause for permanent uneasi-
ness or serious crisis. The statement
says Germany has developed over her
commerce IN those regions too much at
heart to see without misgivings Ger
man commercial houses exposed to
continual disturbance. These three
powers, which have communicated
their views to Toxic, and know how to
enforce respect for them, do not in
t1nd to deprive Japan of the fruits of
her victory; but her civilizing progress
will sooner or later be- menaced with
destruction unless it is based upon the
principles on which rest the concord of
civilized nations.

says:
1.-The sharp little lesson which we
had the painful duty to inflict. upon
Nicaragua cannot fail to be productive
of good there. Another and more pow
erful state has been taking a useful
lesson The American republic assumes
the post of arbitrator in all disputes
betweni the smaller states and Europe,
and what is more important, it shows
a disposition TO interfere in those dis
putes, which is as Objectionable as it is
unasKed for. The tone Of the American
press ever since the present difficulty
arose has reflected very clearly the
usual tone of that country in these
matters, though, perhaps, their buster
and braggadocio upon this occasion
was renderd louder because they felt
there was little chance of being listen
ed to. We do not wish to heap indig
nifty upon any state, however small
and insignificant. England has never
played the part of a bully and never
will, but she must be careful to see
that her good nature is not too much
presumed upon"
The st. James Gazette, referring to
the same subject remarks: THE Near
aqua bill is backed by Salvador. 1t
would be rude to inquire too closely
into the value of the guarantee. The
average usurer is satisfied with a sec
ond name. and if Zelaya has played us
false, we will not only occupy but will
wipe Corinto off of the map and other
places with it. If any of the great pow
ers had behaved as Nicaragua has, we
should have been at war with it
within a week.

ITALY'S DEMANDS.
SENIOR ENDONCA KNOWS NOTHING
OF THEM.
Brazil VIII Pay All Just Claims
Against Her, But VIII Not Be
Frightened By Peremptory De-
mnndS.

Washington, May 3.-Senor Men
donca, the Brazilian minister here, has
no official information concerning the
reported demand made by Italy upon
the Brazilian government for an an
swer within seven days TO Italy's de-
mands for losses sustained by the
Italian subjects during the revolution.
He is, in fact, at present in ignorance
of the nature of the Italian claims. He
recalled that Italy preferred some
claims in 1864, growing out of alleged
losses sustained by Italian subjects
during the war between Brazil and
correspondence at the time they were
allowed to lapse until the republic was
declared. After the dethronement Of
Senior Pedro, they were again presented
in modified form, but were considered
so ridiculous by the Brazilian govern
ment that they were not pressed.
Senior Mendonca does not know
whether these claims are involved, or
only claims arising out of the Da Cana
rebellion Of 1892, at Rio de Janeiro.
Upon the suggestion of the Associated
Press reporter that Italy's demand for
an answer within seven days was
rather peremptory. the Brazilian min
lister replied:
Brazil, of course, will settle any just
claims against her, but Brazil is nc
more in a position to be urged by
peremptory uemand than the United
States."'
Personally he added. Il do not be-
lieve in the collection Of debts by ul-
