AS GOLD IN THE FIRE,

A hero died Tuesday in New York
 His name is not material Genuine he roism is not self-conscious, and, like charity, vaunteth not itself. For all pur- poses, then, he might have been John Smith, or William Brown, or any other label by which human atoms are identi- fed But he was every inch a man. He had sick wife. For days and nights he had nursed her with tender solicitude Tired nature began to rebel. He took deep draught of what he supposed to be whisky. It was carbolic acid. His wife noticed the expression of agony which swept over his face and became alarmed. Her life was hanging on thread and the least excitement might prove fatal. With a smile on his lips he told her that it was @ passing qualm, and soothed her into slumber. Then he slipped out to a drug store. It was too late. No antidote would avail and in a few hours he was dead.
 We all know how intense physical pain develops selfishness. The sufferings of that devoted husband can hardly be im- agined. His agony was great, but his love was greater, and he as truly died for his wife as if he had plunged into a seething sea of flame to snatch her from the grim destroyer.
 An instance like this is invaluable; it is precious. Pessimists may say what they will, but when human nature is capable of withstanding. a test like this there is no doubt that frail humanity has DOT ton of Gods own spirit.

A rEMpEsT IN A TnAcuP.

Once again the mysterious editor or the Daily State comes to the front with an attack upon Alabamas chief execu- tive This time all moderation is set aside and a choice array of epithets, profusion of almosts, alreadys and ln- deeds betray the fact that of late the aforesaid editor has been resting on his oars and got out of practice
 The trouble with the State is Governor Oates appointment of board of woman managers of the Exposition. There is some excuse for the States failure to rightly understand the appointment, but there is not the slightest pretext by which it can free itself of the charge of wilfully misrepresenting facts in order to gratify the personal spite of its mysteri- ous editor against William c. Oates.
 The telegram from the Governors pri- vate secretary made the matter perfect ly plain, and had the Daily State cared to set forth facts as they really appear it had ample time to get at the truth or the matter. Had it done so 1t would not be in the ridiculous position in which 1t finds itself today, that of whipper of a tempest in a teacup, and nothing to stand on besides.
 Had it kept up with current events 1t would have been aware that the Gov ernor of each State is to appoint board of managers or representatives for the woman's department. The Daily State has just as much right to protest against the election of new Prince of Bulgaria as it has in the present case, such elec- tion having identically the same relation to the Alabama woman's building board as has Governor Oates recent appoint ment
 But to the Twenty-second street silver organ the real facts of the case do not amount to anything. It cares not tup- pence for the hard earned laurels' of the Commercial Club, or the woman's board or any other detail. Such acci- dental trihes are merely made to serve as an excuse for the usual methods em- ployed by the hand in charge of the Populite columns.
 What it does care for and want is chance to find fault, criticise and malign the man Alabama has chosen as her chief officer. It matters not to the State that the people have declared him worthy, it individually is not satisfied. Discomfort makes it restive, and disap- pointment makes it vicious. Nothing pleases it. It never speaks good word for Birmingham and never fails to say bad one. Early in it's mushroom life it made grave predictions of fearful calami- ties, impending dangers and general bow VOWS for everybody. It is now engaged in living up to it's blue china, so to speak. Daily it misrepresents or omts news items regarding industrial ventures or betterment of the laboring classes, which might serve as an indication of returning prosperity. To all such songs of triumph it opens it's sinister beak and merely ut- ters the word, "Caw," raven-like, refus- ing to believe in brightness and light, be- cause of the sableness of it's own wings and the coarseness of it's own voice.

Weiehtman's Verdict.

We take occasion to say to our Atlanta friends in general and to President Col Her in particular that their wisest course will be to go right along with prepara- tions for the exposition and ignore out side criticism of every kind. Nothing in the way of southern enterprise is likely to meet with the approval of such papers as the Morning Advertiser and Atlanta simply squanders valuable time in trying to secure it. For our part, we have never pretended to think highly of the bull fight scheme. It was not success in Paris, two or three years ago, even with such famous matadors as Mazzantini and Frascuelo to help the show, and we see no reason to expect great things in At lanta under much less impressive cir cumstances. The simple truth of the matter is that the very feature President Collier counts upon-the entire absence of danger to any of the participants-is the feature which, in our opinion, diveSts the thing of all attraction. But that is neither here nor there. Bread and but ter bull fights are not going to keep any body away from the exposition, and no amount of concession or apology is likely to reconcile the Morning Advertiser to an enterprise conducted by southerners. This particular enterprise is going to be a success. whether they have the bull fight or not.-Washington Post.

LINCOLN AND THE SOUTH.

One of the most significant proofs that times change and that we are changed with them is to be found in the estima- tion in which the South today holds the memory of Abraham Lincoln.
 Every Southern man on the sunny side of fifty remembers the detestation with which he was taught to look upon the rail splitter of Illinois. He was a human ogre, cruel, brutal-a blotch upon our civ ilization forced by accident into a posi- ton which he covered with infamy.
 But the fog of prejudice has drifted away, and looking from the South, the quaint, angular form of the martyred President stands out in rugged grandeur. One of the foremost pulpit orators of the South has not hestated to refer to him as "the immortal Abraham Lincoln" 1" and the lamented Henry w. Grady char acterized him as the most pathetic, mo- ble figure in history"
 Now we know that he had a great big heart which throbbed for his country and for humanity; that he was a patriot, according to his lights, in the truest sense and had it not been for the fanat- ic's bullet his hands would have healed the wounds which they were the in- struments of destiny in inflicting.
 It is possible that we of the South have a truer, more real conception of the greatness of Lincoln than the people of the North. We see the coarse fibre of his nature as they do not, perhaps; we know that he was of the earth, earthly, but we gladly confess that he was a grand type of American manhood, and we have placed him in the pantheon along with the immortals of our own blood and faith.

TOPICAL TALK.

Judge Houghton-The newspapers now have a good deal to say about belligerent rights. The federal government did not recognize the belligerent rights Of the Southern Confederacy as nation, but did as a military power The recognition as a military power was given In the ln- terest of humanity, so that there could be an exchange of prisoners, etc. Gen. eral Grant at one time opposed the ex- change of prisoners. In a letter to Gen. eral Butler he said: eff we commence system of exchange which liberates all prisoners taken, we will have to fight on until the whole south is exterminated. If we hold those caught they amount to no more than dead men," Admiral Semmes in his cruise on the Alabama found it very difficult to get belligerent rights at the ports of foreign nations where he touched. It is hard for revolu- tionists to get belligerent rights. They must maintain an army in the field hold a port fly a flag on their own vessel on the seas and have form of government, with ministers in other countries. The revolutionists of Cuba hold no port, nor vessel nor foreign ministers. But they have maintained an army and adopted a provisional form of government So far Spain has refused to recognize the revo- lutionists as belligerents; she treats them as rebels amenable to her laws and not to international law, and reserves the right to shoot all prisoners as rebels. In 1870 the revolutionists attempted to hold a port. and did sail a vessel which they bought of the United States. Perhaps their struggle for independence may yet become so important as to give them the rights of belligerents.
 President Trask-I see paragraph floating through the papers that the Louisiana sugar planters can't find any s,flyat fat- l,n atr sugar cane, and they are dumping thou sands of gallons into the Mississippi river. It sounds strange, but I expect 1t is true The machinery for making su- gar is now so perfect that all the best juice is crushed and made into sugar and >the residue is made into molasses, which is not very good. It is good for making rum, however, and if the sugar planters would put it to that use they might find it profitable. The people of
