Forcing the Fighting.

The bulk of the heavy work of the cam
paign from this time until the election
will be done in The states b tween the
Ohio and the Mississippi rivers 1t is be-
l.eved by the democratic managers that
Ohio. Illinois. Indiana Michigan and Wis
consin offer a fine field for missionary
work and nearly all the sp akeTs as
signed within several days have been
booked for the territory named. Mr..
Bryan himself VIII do some work in that
field, and in sections further west. He
has expended about all of the time he can
in the east. and will gradually work his
way westward
1t is question that has been discussed
at democratic headquarters whether it
would not have been better had Mr. Bryan
given more time to the north central
states and less to the eastern states.
He has, beyond question. made a won-
derful tour, demonstrating his ability as
a stump speaker. and making it perfect
~ clear that he Is in touch with every
plank of the Chicago platform. He
has shown himself to be possessed
Of personal matnetlsm to a mark
ed degree. People have turned out to
hear him by the thousands, have cheered
him to the echo, and given expressions
to enthusiasm in almost every conceivable
manner. Nevertheless, while his recep-
tons have been Of a most gratifying char
acter, much Of his work has been done
in ''the enemys country" in states that
are concededly republican and will return
republican majorities in November. His
speeches may possibly have the effect of
reducing the republican majorities. But
a reduced majority in Pennsylvania will
elect just as many electors as would a
tidal wave.
The real fighting ground Of the cam
paign IS in the states west of the Ohio
river. A few thousand votes won there
might change the political complexion of
a states representation in the electoral
college The republicans are carrying on
a well organized fight in those states.

IS now forcing the fighting. Speakers in
sufficient numbers are volunteering for
the work. and they are being assigned to
territory where they can do the most
good. Mr.. Bryan will begin speaking in
Illinois about the first of next month. 1t
goes without saying he will arouse great
enthusiasm. When he has "set the prai-

The s. p. HI. ID.

we shall probably have everything just
right in this world after awhile. The
present generation, and probably several
succeeding generations, will not be here
to see the time, when all mankind has be-
come angelic. But that time-the mil
lennium-win doubtless come along in the
course of a few thousand years, more or
less. The latest attempt to hurry it along,
to improve humanity by kiln-drying pro-
cess, is the invention of a Miss Barnard,
of New York, and it is to be known as
the S. P. H. D., which enlarged means
the Society for the Prevention of Heredi-
tary Disease.
The inventor is described as a handsome
young lady of 20 years. 1t is wonderful
how strikingly original and altruistic a
handsome young lady of 20 years can
sometimes be. Her idea is to secure leg
islation to prevent the marrying of un-
healthy people and the propagation of I'M
healthy specimens of the race; that is, TO
apply the improving process employed In
raising horses, cattle and pigs to tho
higher order of creation.
PHILOSOPHERS l6llS VI a otdtS VI pCAAOC-
ton that man is to arrive at in the course
of time-in the sweet bye and bye. the
law proposed by the handsome young lady
of 20 would probably do much to that end,
if it could be enforced. The 'if' is used
advisedly. For the enforcing of a prohibit
ton law in an anti-prohibition community
would be as child's play as compared with
the enforcing of the proposed law to i'm
prove the breed of men and women. The
first thing that would have to be done
would be to abolish moonlight nights,
sofas candy, and all of the many nice
things that bring together soft-headed
men and soft-hearted women who believe
that two can live as cheaply as one, and
who have other idiotic ideas about mar
ried life.
Miss Barnard's scheme would doubtless
rid the world of inherited red and crooked
noses, splotched faces, big ears, family
moles, and other defects, and would prob
ably play Old Harry with old-fashioned
ideas of love-making. But it is hardly
time yet to begin the proposed reforma-
ton. She should let the old way run
on until at least the Twenty-second CEN
tury. And then she wouldn't have any
trouble about it.

a Great Whist IIanh.

One of the historic hands at whist was
once held by the Duke of Cumberland
hand which at first glance seemed to be
absolutely unbeatable, but which did not
take trick, says the Hartford Times. The
duke held ace, king, queen and knave in
one plain suit; ace, king, queen in an
other; ace and king in the third while in
trUmps he held king, knave, nine and sew
en- (of clubs; yet with this perfectly mag
niticent hand and the lead, leading also
quite correctly, ne did not make a single
trick
This seems incredible, but the solution
OF the problem is readily seen by the fol.
lowing facts; The four trumps lying just
over those held by the Duke of Cumber-
land-viz., the ace, queen, ten and eight
were on his left, with nine diamonds, while
on his right were five small trumps. He
led trump, which was taken on his left
and diamond led-trumped on Mis- right
Another trump was led through him.
which was similarly taken, and another
diamond on his right.
Another trump led through the duke
caused his last trump but one to fall; the
last was then extracted by the player on
his left. The duke had now no diamonds
that being the suit of which he had held
only the ace and king. Then the diamonds
on his left were as good as trumps and
made all the remainder tricks. The duke is
said to have lost a wager of $100, 900 in con-
nection with this hand

rho constitutional Amendments.


1t should be borne in mind by the voters
of Georgia that they will be called upon
on oct. Z to vote upon two amendments
to the constitution. The first proposed
amendment provides for the increasing Of
the number of supreme court judges from
three TO six, and for the election of the
additional judges by the people. The sec
ond provides for the election Of the state
school commissioner by the people.
The proposition to increase the num-
Der of supreme court Judges is not new.
But 1t comes up this time in a different
form from the proposition defeated at the
polls in the last election. At that time it
was not proposed that the judges should
be selected by direct vote. Everybody who
is conversant with the matter recognizes
the necessity for an increase in the work
ing force of the supreme bench. The dock
cts Of the court are crowded with cases,
many Of which are years behind. Work
as hard as 1t may, the court, as at pres
ent constituted, cannot catch up with the
business. And the business is increasing
from year to year. Written opinions. in
extenso. are necessarily limited in num-
Der. 1t is simply a matter of physical i'm
possibility for the judges to enter into the
discussion and elaboration of points of
law. many of great Importance. in their
decisions
The great amount of work in the court
is a matter of hardship to the judges, but
not to them alone. The hardship reacts
upon every lawyer and every litigant hav-
ing business before the court. The law
yers are necessarily required to comply
with more stringent rules, and litigants
are compelled to wait for months, or may
be years, before they can have their rights
affirmed. Every citizen is interested in
having the court so constituted that it can
handle the business promptly for no man
knows but that his rights may be infring
ed and he will have to go to the supreme
court for redress. The amendment should
be adopted.
The matter of the election Of the school
commissioner is not of such great impor-
lance. The purpose of the amendment is
merely to put that official upon a footing
with other state officers.

Sound Deductive Reasoning.

er difficult to make the class understand
it,
why, it shouldn't be so difficult" said
the superintendent. ''You understand
what the word grid means, don't you,
children?"
There were many dubious shakes of the
head, but no replies in the affirmative.
Why, now" he continued, as he moved
his hands in front of him in imitation of
a man tightening belt, "supposing you
We're going to run race, why would you
tighten your belt?"
TO hold your pants up" squawked two
of the youngsters in concert and the su-
perintendent turned his face to hide the
smile that the conclusive deduction had
produced.

Some Foolish TnIIs.

There are a few nervous people who
think they foresee another civil war in
this country, in the event of certain DO
litical contingencies. The New Orleans
States a few days ago concluded an edi-
torial article with the prediction that If
Mckinley should be elected it would not
be great while before the country would
become engaged in bloody, internecine
strife, which would eliminate in "a man
on horseback riding roughshod over
the people; in other words, that the
republic would be overturned and in its
place some strong and INSCRIPTIONS mil
itary leader would set up an empire.
Such talk is sheer nonsense; silly rot.
The republic is more firmly grounded
than ever before in its history The peo-
pie are as patriotic now as they were
when the liberty bell doomed out its note
of freedom and defiance. ANY movement
looking to the overthrow of the govern
ment would be so speedily squeIched that
its propagators would wonder what had
struck them. Every true American
would rally to the support of the old flag.
and political differences would be for
gotten in the determination to preserve
the best government on the face of the
earth-even If it does get in the hands
of the opposition sometimes.
1t is strange that the States, an influ-
entail southern newspaper, should indulge
in such sensatienalism. 1t must know
that there is just about as much pros
pect of the south, at least, engaging in
another civil war as there is of a COW
flying over the moon-and no more. If
the nation were to become involved in a
foreign war. no section would be quicker
TO take the field. But the south has had
enough of civil war.
The peculiar situation of affairs in the
south precludes the possibility of the
white men Of this section going TO war
with their neighbors at home and in
other states. In the event of such a dis
turbance. what part would the negro
play? There are millions of negroes in
the south. Naturally the race is on the
lookout for the main chance. That chance
would come with the hostilities OF another
civil war. Is it not plain why the white
men Of the south would decline TO con-
slider for even a moment any such thing
as civil war? In so far as this matter
is concerned, the black race has become
a sheet anchor. which is holding and will
hold the south in its present harbor Of
peace.
There are no questions involved in cur
rent politics that may not be peacefully
settled at the ballot box. And all Of
them will be so settled. probably not at
once but within a reasonable time. To
talk about an appeal to arms in civil war
for the settlement Of them is an insult to
the intelligence and patriotism Of voters.
