According to the Chicago Times Herald,
Gov. Altgeld is not pleased with the way
Senator Jones is running the democratic
national committee, and has got a rod in
pickle for him. Gov. Altgeld holds SEN
atcr Jones responsible for the Sewall- W at
son muddle," says the Times-Herald. 1t
would be interesting to know by what
right Gov. Altgeld holds Senator Jones
responsible" The democratic organization
does not belong to Altgeld. and nobody
has asked him to assume the role of its
protector. His assumption of proprietary
interest in the party will be resented every
where. Senator Jones has the confidence
of the party at large, which Altgeld has
not The Illinois man would do well to
keep little more in the background.

years nominalIy. though actually his mind
and his sight were both gone long before

Recently there have been rumOrs IN Lon

eminent into the hands OF her son. the
Prince Of Wales. These rumors have. II
Is true. been denied semi-oficially. but
they continued TO be whispered in court
circles. and may be based upon good
grounds. IL Is very well known that the
queen IS quite inhrm. She has not APP
peared al any public function for long
while. Her daughters, and other ladies OF
the court, have presided at recent draw

have been laid aside. while the queen has

When the inevitable change in the head
Of the British government shall come to
pass. however. it will be accompanied by
no great disturbance Of either business or
politics. The change has already been
discounted. The sovereign Of Great Brit
ain is not an autocrat. The throne is
scarcely more than a figure head. The
people are the real governing power Of
Great Britain. The Prince Of Wales. who
will become king, Is man Of mature
years. Of good judgment, and without am
bition. There is no room for doubt that
he would make a satisfactory king and
the policies Of the government would re-
main unchanged under him.

A trial that promises to be both lively
and amusing is to come up in Nashville.
Tenn. shortly. before the book committee
of the Epworth League. Rev. Mr. Steele,
editor of the leagues magazine, has been
deposed from the tripod. and charges en-
bracing ineficiency, frivolity and mlscon-
duct have been preferred against him.
Under the head of frivolity, it is said that
he opposed the use of tobacco, instead of
emphasizing repentance; and under the
head of misconduct, he threatened public
retort on his critics. and favored a war be-
tween the United States and Spain and

Senator Tillman declared at the Chicago
convention that the silver issue was a Sec
1ional one, and tried to stir up sectional
feeling with regard to it. Senator Jones
of Arkansas administered scathing re,
buke to him, and declared it was not a
sectional issue. Senator Jones is now at
the head of the democratic campaign,
which may be taken to mean that Till
man will not be called upon for many cam
paign speeches. Senator Jones knows
what kind of politician Tillman is, and
win probably keep him in the background,
where ne belongs.

the sworn statement Of the undertaken OF

nine deaths in Fitzgerald. in a population
of 5000 OF these, five deaths were OF chill

thirty years ago, and one from hurt re-
ceived on an electric car. No adult among

Discussion of the probable candidates of
the Indianapolis sound money convention
is now in order. 1t is observed that there
is some talk of nominating Hon. Henry C.
Turner of this state for the Vice
Presidency So far as we have seen.
Mr.. Turner has done nothing and
said nothing in advancement of a second
democratic ticket. He is a consistent par
ty man. Being such, it may be seriously
doubted that he would lend the weight Of
his name to a movement against the reg
ularly nominated ticket.

Moses P. Handy. of the Mckinley lit

statement, that the populists could have
