Atlanta Constitution.
Yesterday the last commissioner to
the Cotton States and International
Exposition left Atlanta. He is
Colonel John F. Hobbs. After touch
ing many places in this country on
public and private business, he ex-
poets to leave for the south seas, from
which he came to the exposition on
special mission for the antipodean
press. He is combination of king,
journalist and private reporter for
some of the colonial governments OF
the southern hemisphere. Atlantais
his real home, when he is at home.
After fifteen years of travel all over
the world, he finds any one place
monotonous. After seeing the
mountains of Georgia again, and
visiting bis old plantation in South
Carolina, he will do some literary
work for himself and then 60 to New
York. If there is time enough left
after that for long voyage before
the Mexican exposition in December,
he Will 60 to Australia, and thence to
his beautiful island kingdom in the
New Hebrides islands.
Colonel Hobbs is hereditary king
and ruler over four islands of that
groupe, and 10000 or SO Of those
beautiful cannibals. He is going to
leave Atlanta, and his many friends
are loath to give him up. He is a
South Carolinian by birth and educa-
ton, and Georgian by adoption and
marriage. His beautiful wife died
eleven years ago as a four months
bride and her body lies in Oakland.
Oumelea's heart sleeps there with
her it seems, as be has never again
married.
Il am supposed to be up with the
great white spirit father" he said,
when speaking of his subjects view
Of his absence, ''and it is about time
I came down again to see my happy,
wild dancing people," The colonel
king is only about thirty-fve yea1
old and has enough crammed ard
packed into his wide experience to
enliven manylives. His many friends
here wish him bon voyage and a
happy return.
Colonel Hobbs's tongue is quite a
babel. He speaks seven languages
and understands three others.

OBITUARY.

South Texas Baptist.
Barbara G.. Gable, wife of Bro. T.
B. Gable took her departure from
this world of suffering and sorrow to
the ''City of light" March the 9th.
Sister Gable was born in Lexington
county South Carolina, October the
26th, 1850. She was married to T.
B. Gable October the 18th, 1874.
Moved to Texas with her husband in
January, 1879. The most of tie time
since they came to Texas, they have
lived in Waller county, Texas. She
with her husband united with the
Shiloh Baptist church soon after
coming to this county and at the
time of her death she was a member
of the Baptist church at Hampstead.
She was woman of very strong
will and her friendship was Of the
very truest kind. She seemed to de-
light in ministering to the suffering
of which every family in the commu
nifty where she lived can testify.
She leaves to mourn her departure
a kind husband and two accomplished
daughters, Misses Agnes and Carrie.
and host of friends. Her sufferings
for two and one-half years were in
tense and death was a great relief to
her, and she was perfectly resigned,
often during ber Affections praying
the Lord to take her away from her
suffering " henever it was his will to
do so. She was buried in the Shiloh
cemetery, March the 10th, in the
presence of large congregation Of
her neighbors and friends. The
scriptures that were used, and the
songs that were sung On the occasion
were selected by herself a few days
before her death We commend the
sorrowing husband and daughters to
Him who alone can bind up the
broken hearted and give rest to th>
weary. j. f. u.

FAIRLY ELECTED.

There seems to be considerable
doubt in the minds Of the members
of the House committee on privilege
and elections as to the legality Of
the election of Mr. J. VIM. Stokes as
d Representative in Congress from
this District. This is indeed a sur
prising state OF affairs. for those who
are at all acquainted with the situa
ton known that if there ever was a
fair and honest election held in this
country, either iu the North, South,
East or West, the election of MIR.
Stokes was one. At that time Mr..
Johnson, the Republican candidate,
was not the choice of a majority OF
his party, and the negroes, who are
largely in the majority, were gene.
rally opposed to him, and did not
take an active part in his support, in
fact they had taken no interest in
politics in years. Every Republican
who offered to vote was permitted 10
do so with perhaps few exceptions,
who were rejected on legal grounds,
lust the same as Democrats were re.
iacted for the same reasons, and in
this they had no one but themselvs
to blame for their failure to comply
with the requirements, for every op'
portunity was given and every facility
was provided for them to do so had
they so desired. We cannot help but
regard the fight against Mr.. Stokes
as piece of petty spite work, and il
right prevails over wrorg Mr.. Stokes
will be allowed to retain his seat.

mirer of the school Of polit c' OF
which the Senator was The exponent
and the recognized leader, because 1t
believed that he was light and was ad-
vocating the doctrines Of Democracy
in their purity and soundness. 1t
has watched his remarkable and bril-
liant career with peculiar interest and
pride. The successes which crowned
his labors it regarded as much vim
dication of the popularity of Demo
cracy as they were fitting recogni-
ton of his unparalleled talents, bril-
liant intellect aud master mind. Alone
and almost single handed he stepped
forth into the political arena with
the perfume of new turned earth
clinging to his garments demanding
the adonting of certian measures, the
Inauguration of needed reforms and
return to Democratic simplicity IN
the administration Of public affairs
For what he has accomplished along
these lines the Dispatch has, and is
willing to, accord him the fullest
need of praise nor would 1t pluck
one leaf from the laurel wreath
which crowns his brows.
But when be calmly and cooly ad
vises the Reform faction to bolt the
party in the event his views are not
adopted, he has gone beyond that
limit where the Dispatch cannot
nor will not advise it's readers to fol
low. To act upon his advice in this
respect is nothing short of political
suicide. 1t means nothing less than
the gathering of all that has been
accomplished during the past years
and lay them at the feet of our polit-
| ical enemies and in shame and degre-
| dation acknowledge that the idea OF
| popular government is delusion
and a snare, and that the people are
incompetent to hold the helm and
keep the ship of State out Of the
breakers. Absolutely nothing can be
| accomplished to relieve the financial
depression through the coinage OF
silver and the correction of the
abuse of power by the head of the
government through unequal, unjust
and discriminating laws which op'
presses the masses and showers
golden dollars upon the favored few
by deserting the party which has
stood the political storms of q
century or more, go and into
an untried one whose leaders for the
most part are disappointed, dis
gruntled and ambitious politicians
who can give no assurance that their
':party" has any strength. We have
too much at stake to risk any expert
ments and cannot afford to do So
The Democratic party has saved the
the country thus far and will continue
10 do so as long as the people are true
to it and its principles. So stick tc
the party.

save the commands of those who
have placed the shackles around their
necks and the fetters upon their
feet. One of the most significant,
and at the same time the one
fraught with the gravest dangers 10
the perpetuity Of, not the principles
of Democracy, for they are immortal
and will live forever, but OF the
Democratic party as an organization
exertiDg a potent influence upon the
destiny of the nation and in the
government OF the people, is the let
ter of Senator Tillman to the Colum-
bia Register in which he afirms that
he has seen "the light in the West"
and advises his supporters to bolt
the party in the event silver men are
not nominated at the Chicago conven-
ton upon a platform entirely accept
able to the friends of silver. This
advice was given over the Senator's
own signature, hence its genuiness
cannot, therefore, be doubted, nor
can be claim that he has been mis-
represented. We must conclude that
he is in earnest in what be says and
actually means to belt the patty III

fuses to nominate candidates favor

GIVE HIM A SECOND TERM.

Apparently there are combinations
beiug formed in the interest OF per-
sons who aspire to succeed Senator
Irby as United States Senator. If
this be true, the people of the State
should make up their mind, now and
for all time to break all semblance
of rings, combinations and caucuses.
One of the fundamental principles
of the Reform faction of the Demo
cratic party is that each candidate
shall appear before the people on
the hustings and stand for election
on his merits alone, and if the peo-
pie countenance any combination by
whosoeyer made, in the interest of
any particular candidate or set of
candidates, it will destroy the very
and only object for which the pri-
mary system for nominating canai-
dates for Office was adopted, namely,
to ascertain the will of the people of
the State in reference to who shall be
their officers. To allow one candi-
date to come before the people with
a ring, combination or clique pledged
to his support, forestalls the result
of the primary and makes the hold,
ing of them void and of no effect.
If the rule of anticipation is to be
the standard of judgment of the
fitness of a candidate then economy
would suggest that the better plan
would be to delegate the authority
of the people to clique and on
bended knees say, mot my will, o,
Boss, but thine be done"
We are not an admirer of Senator
Irby, nor or we his enemy, in
fact We know nothing about him
personally. Politically he has done
no harm, and as he has always voted
right it must follow that he has done
some good, and this is about as much
as could be reasonably expected from
a member whose term is as short
as his. On the hypothesis that still
water runneth deepest, SO the loud
mouthed member is not near so ef-
fectiye as one whoes work is
quietly done, SO that because Mr..
Irby has made no great noise IN
Washington is no reason to pre-
sumo that he has done no good for
his State or his constituency.
Again it has been the inyariable
custom Of the Democratic party to
give the encumbent at least two
terms and there is no just reason
why an exception should be made Of
Senator Irby. On the other hand, ii
political services are tc be rewarded,
every true and tried Democrat should
rally to his support and uphold him
in his gallant fight for Democratic
unity and the salvation of the party.

BOTH WERE BADLY BATTERED
Murphy Gave Corbett a Blow on the
Mouth Which Brought Blood

Philadelphia Jan. 26-William II.
Murphy, fireman detailed for duty
last night at the National theater,
where James j. Corbett is now playing,
came in lively contact with the pugil-
list and both men were badly battered
before the trouble was over. Murphy
smelled cigarette smoke and traced it
to Corbett's room. which he entered.
81 must tell you that smoking is
against the rules" said Murphy.
mo one is smoking here" said Cor
bett, but he was unable to conceal the
smoke that came from under his coat
"Why, you are smoking yourself"
said Murphy, Indignantly, and then
COrbett slammed the door.
The fireman threw all his weight
against the door just as COrbett open
ed it again and Murphy staggered half
across the room, and before he could
recover himself, Corbett struck him
twice. Murphy came back with a blow
on Corbett's mouth that brought blood
in a stream.
The fireman then started down
stairs, but Corbett caught him from be-
hind, threw him down and kicked him.
Murphy Inen started GOWN again, SOI-
bett following. Murphy grabbed Cor,
bett around the legs and pulled his feet
from under him, letting the pugilist
slide down stairs.
When the pugilist reached the bottom
he was frantic with rage and again at
tackled Murphy, but the men were soor
separated. Corbett's mouth was very
badly SWOLLEN, and Murphy was badly
hurt in the back where Corbett kicked
him.

VIEWS OF SIR wnEELMAN pEARCE

Says the Flying Squadron Was Not In
tended for Use Against America.
ST. Louis, Jan. 26.-"The fitting out
of the flying squadron was merely to
show Europe that England was pre-
pared to defend her corner against the
nations. [ do not think that any one
In Great Britain ever thought the
squadron was placed in action to be
used against the United States"
This was the statement made by Sir
Wheelman Pearce, M. p, from Col
chester, Essex county, England, at the
Southern hotel today. Sir Wheelman,
who has contracts with the Mexican
government for the construction of the
harbor at Vera Cruz, is en- route to that
city, accompanied by Lady Pearce.
When we first heard of your Monroe
doctrine declaration" he said, I'VE
thought you had gone crazy. You gave
US terrible shock for few days, for
we thought from the amount of jingo-
ism aroused this country would be-
come so unruly that grave complica-
lions would follow.
england has not appointed a com
mission to consider the dispute, and I
40 not think this will be done until
aIter Lord Salisbury has made the COR
respondence in the matter public by
sending 1T to parliament in the form OF
report. Then if the foreign Office has
taken a wrong position it will be re-
puked If people think the position a
proper one, however, the position Of
the foreign office will be upheld.
Ihere is no doubt England recog-
hlzes the Monroe doctrine in it's broad
sense and is willing to abide by it on
ali occasions except this one. This dis
puted territory has been claimed by
great Britain for years, and has been
iuied by it. A large number Of the
Iihaoltants of the place consider them
serves British subjects, and the dispute
- merely over the boundary. Surely
ms is not a sufficient cause for war.
oince thls trouble has arisen, there is
sroWlng sentiment in England in IA
Vor Oh permanent international COM
mission, to which all disputes could be
