com. Gordon,. successor.

Hon. A. S Clay is to be Senator Cor
don's successor in the United States Sen
ate. No doubt Mr.. Clay is as much sur
prised as any man in the state who has
the pleasure of his acquaintance that so
great an office should have been bestowed
upon him. But Mr.. Clays good fortune
will cause no heart burnings. He is a
very popular gentleman, and all who come
in contact with him like him because Of
his hearty, frank manner, his uniform
courtesy and his fidelity to his friends.
He entered into the contest for the SEN
atorship with extreme reluctance. not be-
cause he did not want the office, nor be-
cause he doubted his qualifications for it.
but because he did not think he had any
chance to get it. The strength he devel-
oped from the start surprised him and mis-
friends, and made them hopeful that with
good management he might win the great
prize. His campaign was carefully and
sklllfully conducted, with the result that
he will occupy position which has been
filled by some of Georgia's most famous
sons.
1t would not be just to Mr.. Clay to say
that he is one of Georgia's great men, or
honor his party has conferred upon him,
but he is comparatively young man yet,
and he is gifted with great deal Of what
is better than brilliancg or genius, namely,
common sense. Mr.. Clay is a practical
man, and in political matters, with which
10 Oh,
judgment. He has managed two state
campaigns with credit to himself and to
his party. He had the direction Of the re-
cent national campaign in this state, and
he proved himself fully equal to the du-
ties which devolved upon him.
We predict that Mr.. Clay will make an
excellent record in the Senate. He may
not make speeches that will attract the
attention of the country, or suggestions
that will shape the policies of the govern
ment, but he will be a careful and pains
taking legislator a safe counsellor. and,
above all, a senator who will appreciate
the dignity of his position and who will
look after the interests of his state and
the welfare of the country. He will grow
with his opportunities, and each year he
will be better qualified for his duties than
he was the preceding one.
We should have preferred a sound money
man as senator. but in the present condi-
ton of politics in this state the election of
sound money man was impossible. Mr..
Clay is a party man, of course, but we do
not believe that he is so welded to the
free silver policy as to be anxious to keep
up the free silver agitation.
1t is to Mr. Clay's credit that his success
in life is due to his own efforts The son
of a poor farmer and with only
scant educational advantages in early life,
he has won, comparatively early in life
an honor which aany, having superior
advantages, seek all their lives without
attaining. We shall watch his career in
his new field of labor with interest. and
lend him helping hand whenever we feel
that he deserves it.

What Have We Gained
From the Macon Telegraph (Dem).

The southern democracy, by its alliance
with popuism, has lost Kentucky Della
ware, Maryland and West Virginia, thus
destroying the solid south. More than this,
il has lost its old friends and allies who
stood a Gibraltar of strength in recon-
struction and carpetbag days-the states
of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and
Indiana. What has she gained? Kansas,
Nebraska and a group OF Rocky mountain
mining camps.
Not in generation can the blunder be
repaired, unless there rs a speedy abso-
lutte reVulsion against the Altgelds ana TIL
mans and the retinue Of politicians of less
degree who forced TO the front at Chica-
go and contaminated the unnatural al
lance with populism.
Another contest waged on the same lines
would bring annihilation. 1t is stark mad
ness to contemplate It. a political party
can as well afford to acknowledge an err
ror as an Individual. IL Is brave and manly

Archbishop Temple and the cabman

DR.. Temple. after coming out of the
House OF Lords one evening, hired a cab
and was driven home to Fulham, SAYS the
Westminster Gazette. He rendered the
cabman the exact legal fare, two shiI-
lings. The eabman, hoping the bishop
would prove good fare" expostulated
with his lordship and asked for another
shilling. The bishop. however, firmly re-
fused to be drawn. Thereupon cabby he
came abusive, and as a Parthlan shot to
his lordship, who had turned on his heels
to enter the palace, said:
you call yourself the head of st. Pauls
Cathedral! Dye think ST. Paul. If he
were alive, would try and do a moor
cabby by giving him only two shillinrs
for a drive from Westminster to FuI-

NO said DIR. Temple; '1f St Paul
were alive he would live at Lambeth paI-
ace. where the fare from Westminster is
only a shilling"

Monroe Doctrine Triumphant.
From New Orleans Picayune Dem.).

The triumph of the Monroe doctrine is a
great achievement for the Cleveland adj

course Mr.. Cleveland has maintained since
the inception of the Venezuelan difficulty
Those great finane!ers, college professors
and others who exhibited such indignation
at the Presidents course when he issued
his famous proclamation demanding that
Great Britain submit the boundary dispute
with Venezuela to arbitration will now
probably realize the unpatriotic and illog-
ical nature of their criticisms.

COuIdn't Return the Compliment


Couldn't Return the Compliment
A story is related of w. S. Forrest, the
well-known Chicago criminal lawyer, who
was retained in case before Judge Will
hanson, says the Chicago Times Herald.
1t was a suit for damages for personal in
juries against the Milwaukee and st. Paul
railroad. Mr. Forrest represented the
plaintiff; w. J. Hynes, the defendant. The
question in point turned largely upon the
arrangements of the roads tracks,
switches and frogs. An Irishman named
Maloney, assistant yaFdmaster of the Mil
waukee and st. Paul road, was on the
witness stand. His native brogue was rich
and pronounced.
On the direct examination Maloney had
been very laconic in his answers. This
made Mr.. Forrest think he had an easy
victim on the cross-examination, but when
spurred by cross-questions the witness
Irish was aroused, and he became more
voluble The'more the Irishman was prod
ded the hotter he became, although he did
not lose his head, but damaged the plain
tiff's case. Mr.. Forrest saw the ground
slipping from under him, and began to
look for an opening to drop the witness
without further injury to his case. He sue
/ceeded in provoking tart reply from the
witness, whereupon, thinking this his OPP
portunity, waving his hand, he said sar-
castically:
"That will do. Mr.. Witness. You're very
smart, artn't you?'
"OPd loike ia ratur-rn the cumplemant

slowly to leave the stand.

CURRENT COMMENT.
Venezuela Left Out.
From the New York Post Qnd1.

One of the oldest results of the Venezue-
Ian controversy has been the blotting out
of Venezuela as an Independent govern
ment so far at least as the present settle
ment is concerned. She does not appoint
single member of the arbitration tribunal
On the face of the papers she is not con-
suited about anything. Her contention all
along has been, not merely a demand for
arbitration, but that the United States
should be the arbitrator Even this has
been denied to her. The real Arbitrator is
the King of Sweden.

The announcement is made in some of
the western papers that Kansas is sorry
that she elected populist state officers. The
had the effect of causing those having
money invested within her limits to want
1t as soon as they can get it.
Capitalists are afraid to loan money in
Kansas They know what 10 expect from
a legislature and an administration COM
posed of populists. They look for laws hos
tile to capital, and the indications are
that they will not be disappointed. The
populists will no doubt carry out the de-
clarations in their platform. One of these
declarations is as follows: I'VE are in ia
vor of reducing the legal rate of interest"
But what good would it do the people of
Kansas to reduce the rate Of interest in
that state when they cannot borrow money
at the present rate?
The populists seem to have the idea that
they can reduce the rate of interest by law
Yes, they can say what the lawful rate of
interest shall be, but they cannot make
those who have money lend it, AS a
matter of fact, with populist ideas control
ling the state, the people of Kansas will
not be able to borrow money at any rate
of interest. Those who have it to lend are
afraid they would not get even their prin-
cipal if they should invest it in Kansas.
If the people of Kansas want to borrow
money at a low rate of interest-and they
are large borrowers-they must first make
it clear that it isn't dangerous to invest
money in their state. When investments in
Kansas become safe the rate of interest
will fall, because the offerings of money
will be large. AS long as the loaning of
money there is sort of lottery the rate
of interest will be high. no matter what
the legal rate of interest may be.
Let Kansas satisfy capitalists that mon
ey loaned in that state is entirely safe ana
there VIII be no need to lower the legal
rate of interest because the supply of
money viii force down the rate. People
who have acceptable security to offer, find
no difficulty in ordinary times, in borrow
ing money at reasonable rate Of interest.
The borrowers who are always complains
ing about the scarcity Of money and the
rate of interest are those to whom it would
be hazardous to loan money. With the pop
ulist in control of Kansas it would be ma
zardous to invest money in that state.

AS if poor Abdul Hamid had not trouble
enough already, in killing Christians and

world hoodwinked, some of his wives are

of that race in his harem. Some of these
