''rhe Trilby craze has reached such a
point mat nearly all the promintnt artists
say that life to them is becoming a bur
den. Such men as William NJ Chase.
Maurice de Haas. William II. Beard and
a lot OF other artists say that they are
inundated with women who want to pose

to a writer for the San Francisco Argo-
maui:
Every woman does not believe that
she has pretty face but every woman
believes that she has a pretty foot"
AND they all bring their feet with
them. One of the artists said that he
was so beset by women who wanted

It is stated that there is a probability
that the ordinance requiring the saloons
to close at midnight viii be repealed
Would it not be a mistake to repeal That
ordnance? Why take step ba ekward?
Has not the ordinance proven to be a
good one? Who complains Of it? Have
the people presented to the council petit
tions asking for its repeal? IT not, why,
then, is there a probability OF its repeal:
1t was adopted in response TO a demand
of public sentiment. Has public senti-
ment changed? If so, where is the evil
dence of it? If it hes not changed. on
what ground would the council repeal the
ordnance? 1t is fair to assume that the
council win 90 what the people want
done. As long as the people are satisfied
with the ordinance. it is difficult to un-
derstand why the council should repeal it,
II is not to be supposed that the council
will disregard public sentiment
Has harm come from the ordinance? II
so, what kind of harm? Can any one
point out any fact showing it is a bad
ordinance? On the contrary. is it not a
good ordinance from any point from which
it may be viewed? Being a good ordl-
nance, what excuse could the council Of
fer to the public for repeating it? 1t would
have TO give some excuse or stand con-
victed of being controlled by motives it
dares not avow.
In Atlanta the saloons are closed al 10
p. m. If that city requires the saloons
to be closed two hours before midnight.
surely this city can stand having them
closed at midnight.
1t is pretty certain that if the ordinance
should be repealed tho council would have
trouble on its hands. The signers of the
petitions Upon which the midnight closing
ordinance is based would at once be-
come active, and they might be more ag-
gressive in their demands than they have
ever yet been. Better let the ordinance
alone.

The Anti-Lottcrr Eli.

Senator Hoar is getting a good deal
of praise for the persistency and skin
with which he conducted the contest for
his anti-lottery bill The bill was opposed
by some of the ablest and shrewdest
men in the Senate. They were not inter
ested in the lottery companies so much
as they We're in the express companies
through which the lottery companies have
been conducting their business since the
mails were closed to them. and it is I'M
derstood that the business was very prof.
table to the express companies.
The antiliottery law not only prohibits
the express companies from handling the
business OF lottery companies, but it
greatly enlarges the powers of the Post
master General in dealing with mail mat
ter supposed to be in the interest of lot
terry companies. With the powers he now
has it will be practically impossible for The
lottery companies to reach their patrons
through the mails, and as they are also
cut off from the use Of the express com
panies, it is about impossible to see how
they can carry on their business.
The act passed a couple of years ago.
shutting lottery letters and circulars out
of the mails, crippled the lottery compa-
MES, and this last law can hardly fail to
greatly limit, if it does not actually put
a. stop to the business the lottery compa-
MES now do. The tight against the com
panies has been a hard ono. 1t may be
considered as practically over. Every ave
nue. Of Importance through which the
companies can do business has been prac-
tically closed.

If the Cuban revolutionists hold out a
little longer. 1T may be that they will
achieve a fighting chance. 1t is evident
that the reports from Spanish sources
concerning the uprising are colored in a
manner to belttle the difficulty; else de-
taehments from a dozen garrisohs in
Spain and 100000 cartridges would not be
ordered to Cuba by the Madrid govern,
ment Should Cuba develop a competent
leader for the revolutonists, and should
the revolutionists gain one or two i'm
portant fights, the enthusiasm that would
likely be raised might draw recruits from
this country. 1t is worthy of being re-
called that there has always been CON
siderable sympathetic sentiment for Cuba
in the South Atlantic states. Prior to the
war the southern demand for the annexa-
ton of cuba. was quite strong; so strong
indeed, that the national democratic
convention which met at Charleston in
1860 contained a plank declaring in favor
of the acquisition of Cuba. at the earliest
moment practicable, upon such terms
as shall be honorable to ourselves and Just
to Spain" Since the war the spirit of
Cuban annexation has not been rampant;
STILL there are probably great many
men in this country who would like to
carry a gun for Cuban liberty if they had
any assurance that their efforts would not
be in vain

1t seems as if the blacks of the south
would be the perpetual prey of unscrup-

again the blacks have been buncoed out

the newspapers and the white people have

their sorrow. The hapless condition of a
number of Alabama and Georgia negroes

1t seems to be about time for the city
authorities to take some hand in the street
railway tangle, for the purpose of pro-
tecting the rights OF the citizens. As
things are going now the street car SER
vice is eXecrable. That belt lines should
be chopped in two, and passengers be bled
for extra fares and forced to transfer.
when no transfer is necessary, is an i'm
position on the public that should not be
tolerated. There is room for little if any
doubt that Mr.. Charlton is correct when
he says the city ordinances contemplate
that one fare shall entitle a passenger to
a continuous ride from one point to any
other point on the lines of any company.
1t would appear that it is the purpose
of the companies to have some fun with
the public now, as they have been hay
ing fun with each other during the past
few months.

Sibley of Pennsylvania, the rich crank
whom the silverites have suggested for
the presidency, says his party will organ
ize and begin its campaign at once Sib-
ley. presumably, will knock the bung out
OF his bari to pay the cost. The purpose
the silverites have in view. no doubt, is
to hamper business-the farmers and mer-
chants-with their calamity bowls, so as
10 prevent as far as may be possible the
return of prosperity. By holding polit-
ical meetings all over the country they
hope to keep the farmers away
from their crops and meantime en-
deavor to convince them that the
reason the crops do not grow ana
prove lucrative is because the coinage of
silver isn't free. If demagogic political
agitation were to cease for a few months
the country would recupera tie so rapidly
that the silverite following would be dec
mated; therefore Sibley and his crowd
viii endeavor to keep up and augment
the demagogic agitation. They cannot
stand prosperity.
