The people Of Mount Kisco, in the state
of New York, are somewhat amused, or
annoyed. according to their avoirdupois
by little controversy that has sprung
up between the pastor of the Methodist
church at that place and member o.
his congregation. 1t seems that Pastor
McAnney sometimes says peculiar things
in his own peculiar way. Most of his
flock have got used to his peculiarities
and enjoy his originality. Recently. how
ever, he made an attack upon fat wo-
men, which has had the effect of prov,
ing to him that fat is not necessarily
mark of Incidence or a slow wit, as he
seems to have imagined.
Once upon a time he heard of story
of pet dog. which got sick, and was
sent by its owner to the leading dog
doctor of great city. The dog would
not cat IT was fat and lazy, and wished
to sleep all the time. The doctor put
go -.~,, ~J".4 ... tnv cellar ana thrasned
il soundly with whip every day for a
week. At the end of the time the dog
had become thin and healthy, and had a
splendid appetite. The preacher sala
this dog story reminded him of some
of the fat women he knew. And address
ing the husbands of such women, he said
NOV try the doctors treatment of the
dog upon your wife, and you will find
that she will improve" He went on to
say that women who worked and at
tended to their duties properly never car
ried any surplus flesh. while those who
staid at home and felt their pulse in,
variaby suffered i'll health.
The fat woman's champion, in the per-
son of Mrs. Wright. herself a fat wo>
man, was forthcoming within a day Or
two. Mrs. Wright is a poet of the nur-
sery rhyme order. When the next issue
OF the village paper appeared it contained
a poem holding thu preacher up to ridi-
Guile. Thus began, the exchange of amen
tiles between the fats and the leans of the
town. Where the end will be no man can
predict with any degree of certainty. L,
may be asserted, however. that the
preacher went out his way to say some.
thing calculated to produce a sensation.
If it is a sin to be rat, there are lots OF
preachers who win never enter the mar.
row gate, according to Mrs. Wright. who
also holds the belief that there will be
comparatively as many fat angels as
lean ones in the hereafter.

Not He1nfuI to Georrin.

Georgias financial and commercial in
terests are with the north and
east and the adoption of the 16
to silver platform by the state
democratic convention cannot be
helpful to her in any way. Such a finan-
cial declaration is calculated to destroy
the confidence which business men and
investors in all parts of the country have
always had in her. They have regarded
her people as being somewhat different
from those Of most of the other southern
states-as being more progressive in their
ideas and holding broader and more lib
eral views on financial and political mat
tiers.
1t was thought that Georgia had no
Tillmans or Kolhs. and that was greatly
in her favor. Lately, however, quite a
crop of men appear to have come to the
front who differ from Tnlman only in be-
ing Of much less importance.
The business men of the country. how
ever, should understand that though in
the minority. there are thousands of
sound money democrats in Georgia of the
Henry G. Turner kind. The small politi-
clans who are afHliated with the silver
craze have the upper hand now, but rea-
son will return to it's throne and the peo-
pie win see that they have been misled.
1t may be that they Will have some severe
experiences before the silver craze dis
appears, but it is to be hoped not. Com
monwealths and communities. like indi-
viduals. are moved to do strange things
sometimes, but eventually they, get back
to the position which common sense teach
es is the right one.

not slow to grasp the possibilities Of the
long-distance telephone. And that Is how
HObsOn & DObson came 10 have the first
dispute which marred years Of profitable
partnership.
Dobson went to New York last week.
He made his headquarters at a well known
Gotham hotel. and telegraphed Hobson
of his arrival in the eastern town. II SEEM
ed that an eastern customer failed TO keep
certain agreement, the details OF which
we're familiar 10 HobsOn. but not to Dob
son. 1t would take long telegram TO eN-
plain the details fully. and Hobson decided
to call DObson up on the long-distance
telephone The rate for conversation be-
tween Chicago and New York 5 eight dol
lars for five minutes. after the proper con-
nectiOns are made and communication es-
tablished. The usual negotiations passed
between the operators. and DobsOn recOg-
nized the voice of his partner.
Hello. HObsonr'
"H-h-hello. D-d-dObson; is that Wy

Yes, it's me. Talk fast, Hobson; this

soon md themselves before the police
court. There ssems 10 be deep rooted
prejudice in the minds Of some drivers OF
buggies. carriages and other OF the heav-
Ter vehicles against the bicycle. and they
have been known TO drive around the
squares to the left apparently for the sole
purpose OF forcing bicycles into the side
walk. or smashing them. or making them
60 out OF their own proper place on the
roadway. 1t should be impressed upon the
minds Of such drivers that the bicycle
has frequently been legally pronounced a
vehicle, with as many rights on a public
highway as a carriage OF buggy or wagon.
Il has also been decided by the courts
that damages to bicycles caused by driv-
ers Of heavier vehicles forcing them into
sidewalks or other Instructions may be
collected from such drivers or the owners
OF the teams. Such occurrences. as well
as accidental collisions. could be in a
great measure prevented by the enforce
ment Of the rule, keep to the right"
When the park extension fence Is remov-
ed there will be need for the enforcement
Of this rule. It is practically certain that
bicycles will be ridden on the walks around
the park and the extension. They are rid
den there now. to the danger of both rid
ers and pedestrians. especially on the
Whitaker and Drayton street sides. The
wheels come and go on each side. and
more than one collision has occurred in
the narrow pathway by the fence. When
the fence is removed. a space on each
side Of the park. and all the way around
the extension. might be set aside for the
use of the wheels. And all wheels should
be required 10 so in one direction; that is.
to the right, Under that plan all wheels
going north would take the Drayton
street side OF the park and extension, and
an going south would take the Whitaker
street side. There would then be no
crowding, no infringement upon the right
OF way of pedestrians and no reason for
collisions.

was This the Rensonr

The close call which the democracy
of Georgia had two years ago, when Judge
Hines came near leading the populsts to
victory in this state, is perhaps one of the
reasons for the silver craze in Georgia. The
hungry democratic politician, who is con-
stantly on the hunt for office. saw that
his populist rival was running him close
race, and he FASTENED to appropriate the
political doctrine which he assumed was
the chief cause of his populist rivals pop
ularity. Read between the lines the re-
marks of Gov. Atkinson and some of the
other democratic leaders at the Macon
convention leave the impression that they
were not wholly in accord with the 16 to
l idea, but they lacked the courage and
spirit of patriotism necessary to face the
extreme silverites and show them the dan
ger that lies beyond. They were not like
Henry c. Turner, who preferred to retire
from public life rather than sacrifice his
principles. All were so anxious for office
that they yielded to those who had secured
control of the party by catering to the
populists.
1t is barely possible that there may be
some understanding withthe populist lead
ers, and that Mr.. Tom Watson is to come
back into the democratic party 1t is even
supposable that that able politician may
be the democratic standard bearer in the
gubernatorial campaign of 1898. He is GER
tainly as good a democrat now as some
of the men who at present pose as leaders
of the democratic party. The small potato
politician is on top in Georgia, and there
is no telling what he will do to get into
4 Office and keep in.

The latest Zeigler incident. IN screven
county. very forcibly illustrates two pow
erfuI truths. namely. that violence begets
violence. and that the safety OF society
depends upon the supremacy OF the law.
The inception Of the trouble was in the
violence practiced by Sheriff Broker up
on the old man Zeigler. which was fol-
lowed by violence upon BROKER by the
sons Of the man he killed. It is necessary
for the law 10 step in and put a ESP TO
such chains Of crimes OF violence. or
they may be continued indefinitely. In
the Jake Zeigler-Aderhold. matter. it is
claimed that the detective had no war
rant for the formers arrest. If that IS
correct. the detective had no business on
Zeigler's place. and no right to attempt to
arrest him. If Ze.gler was wanted by the
law. it was the duty OF some properly
constituted officer of the law. armed with
the proper writs. to apprehend him and
take him to jail

The south and Silver.
From the New York Times (Dem).


Political tranquility is now well assured
in the southern states. Disturbances
such as were common in parts of the
south in the seventies are never heard of
now.
Capital is provokingly slow to seek in
vestment in the south, although she has
need of il. and she must get 1t from
others. Yet any promising country in
habited by an indus trious people can gem
orally borrow all the capital 1t needs for
the development of its resources.
The raising of the silver standard at
Chicago win beyond any shadow of doubt
elect a republican President. 1t will put
the federal power into the hands of the
republican party for many years. Do
the ardent advocates of free silver coin
age in the southern states really long for
the return of the days of Gov. Moses and
his kind that they are doing so much to
bring about?
Do they really want to shut themselves
up to slow starvation on their own in
sufficient financial resources?
Under a democratic President they
would have no occasion to apprehend the
return of the carpet-bagger domination
If the gold standard we're definitely es-
tablished they would have no difficulty
in borrowing all the money they need 10
extend AID carry on their industries
These questions are vitality important
for the south. They are TO be decided at
Chicago, SO far as the democratic con-
vention can decide them. The people Of
the south can't afford to have. them de-
sided wrong.

It Was a Wonderfnl hog.

An amusing true story is related of
farmer who came into a village grocery
in one of our western states and exhib-
tied to an admiring crowd an enormous
egg about six inches long which was
laid by one of his old hens, says the In
dependent. He had it packed in cotton,
and wouldn't allow anybody to handle
II for fear of breaking the phenomenon
The groceryman examined it with the rest
and, intending to chaff the countryman,
said: 'Pshaw! I've got something in the
egg line that will beat that" "Pn bet
you S. you haven't" said the countryman,
getting excited. Take it up" said the
groceryman; and, going behind the coun-
ter he brought out a wire eggbeater.
There's something in the egg line that
will beat it, I guess" said he, reaching
for the stakes, Hold on therelr said the
farmer, lets see you beat it," and hand
ed it to the grocer. The latter held out
his hand for it, but dropped it in sur
prise on the counter. where it broke two
soup plates and platter. 1t was of iron
painted white. Some folks think they
are tarnation cute" muttered the far
mer, as he pocketed the stakes and left:
but faint no use buclkin' ag'inst the solid
facts"

Maj Mckinley continues to be as quiet
as a scared mouse. But his manager is
talking at great rate. Mr.. Hanna de-
nies that Mr.. Plat of New York had
anything to do with the making of the
money plank of the platform. and says
it was draughted by western man and
approved by him before Mr.. Plat ar
rived in ST. Louis. He says further that
the gold standard declaration of the party
will have the effect OF restoring confidence
and bringing about better times. He
knows himself, he says, Of several enter
pr.ses involving many millions of dollars
which will now be put on foot. since the
republicans have declared for sound
money. 1t is strange. by the way. that
he should have kept the promoters of
those enterprises in the dark so long with
regard TO the forthcoming republican pol
icy. If he knew what it was to be.
