Prosperity in the south.
From New York Mail and Express (Rep.)

In no portion Of the country is the re-
vival of business more vigorous than in
the south. 1t was there that the free sill
yer organization made it's strongest fight,
and strangely enough, Il is there that its
defeat is producing its first and most graf
flying effects. The south. with her mani
fold wealth OF undeveloped resources. is
interested more vitality, II possible. than

question has been settled in the way best
calculated to promote her own welfare.

Without knowing the details of the pub
lie school bill now before the legislature.
IL may be stated that what is needed is a
clear and liberal law covering the whole
state 1t should require every county to
levy stated tax for the education of ev-
cry child in the county from to l6 years
old. Chatham county. for instance, taxes
itself very heavily for educational pur-
poses. in addition to the school tax levied
by the state. The state school tax
amounts to s5o.cG0 to 100000 a year and
Chatham gets back Of this amount only
$4,000. The balance goes to other counties.
In addition TO this heavy charge upon the
taxpayers Of Chatham. the schools in this
city educate a large number Of children
ffom adjoining counties and even from
south Carolina. They coPe here and live
with relations. and get the benefits Of the
schools without cost TO their parents.
That however, is small matter as COM
pared with the money taken from Chat
nam taxpayers and given to the other
counties for school purposes. The law
should require each county to tax itself
Tor sufficient sum for the education of
its children.

The Brutal Game of Foot Ball.
From the Chicago Tribune (Rep.).

The foot ball field is field of battle 1t
has its dead and its wounded. It is more
atrocious than a gladlatorial encounter. 1t
is more brutal than a bull fight. If the
laws are not strict enough to cover this
of1ense against humanity then they
should be made so. If college presidents
and professors are too cowardly to re-
strain brutality, then prosecuting attor-
neys and Juries should come to their as
sistance.

Ignorance in Vermont.
From the Baltimore Herald Dem.).

That Georgia county which did not re-

knew that there was presidential cleo
ton, is offset by the Vermont town in
which the aldermen failed to post a proper
notice, and thereby deprived the citizens
Of an opportunity to exercise the right Of
suffrage.

Mr.. MntsOn Outf

One L. c. Bateman, a populist leader of
the state Of Maine, who for six months or
more has been trying to climb into notice
on the somewhat angular and not over
strong shoulders Of Thomas E. Watson of
Georgia, is once more up to his old trick.
Mr. Watson has proved over and often that
when he has anything to say to the public
letters of acceptance excepted-he has the
spunk to do his own talking, and such
command of language as enables him to
say precisely what he means without any
whipping of Old Nick around
the stump For this reason Bate
mans statement, which is to the
effect that Mr.. Watson is out of
politics and purposes to stay out, may be
questioned, Notwithstanding Bateman says
he has a letter from Watson conveying
that information.
When Mr.. Watson determines to get out
of any occupation, he does it in a manner
chat leaves absolutely no doubt as to his
"outness." He sets things afire, and does
war dance and sings a battle song while
the conhagration is going on. Has it been
forgotten what he did when he got out of
the law business some years ago? That
performance was characteristic of him;
and when he quits politics he will come
mighty near duplicating the law-books in-
cident Before he leaves the populst field
he will kindle such a fire in 1t that the
grass will not grow there again for many
seasons. And he will not ask Bateman to
help him do it, either.
1t is true that Mr.. Watson is keeping re-
markably quiet just now--for him, He is
neither talking nor writing, te any great
extent. He is resting; just "a-eatin' Of
few sardines, a-smokin' of a few segars
and romancn' around" in order to get into
good shape for his tilt with Marion Butler,
which is almost sure to be one of the
most entertaining features of populist pol
tics in the next campaign. He has got
! 1t in" for Butler, and 1t would probably be
safe to wager the cruiser Texas against a
cheese box that he will not retire from pol
/ tics until he has made II so hot for Butler
that he will wish he were the driver of an
4 ice wagon.
Meantime it would seem to be in order
for Mr.. Watson to call that fellow Bate
man down. If he We're not a populist he
would be open to the charge of talking too
much. AT the same time. Mr. Watson is
himself populist, and does not need any
help IN the talking line.

The Negro south and North.
From the New Orleans States Dem.)

That the negro has better chance in
the south than any other section Of the
country is shown by the fact that in North
and South Carolina and other southern
states, many of them are employed as
operatives in cotton mills. Were a negro
to seek employment in a cotton mill in
New ENGLAND he would be mohbed

portfolio. They seem to think that be-
cause he is a rich business man he wishes

Hanna a great deal better II he were go

else than the treasury portfolio. The Sec

The fate Of Daniel Manning has not been
forgotten by the understanding Mr..
Hanna. II might suit Mr.. Hanna better
to be Secretary of the Navy than of the
treasury. He knows all about ships. He
has made 4 great part Of his fortune In
the management of ships. He would car
ry practical experience in building and
sailing ships into the navy. And then he
would not have to buckle down over a
desk so closely. Yet he would be in as
close touch with the President and nave
as much influence In the shaping Of his
policies as IL he were Secretary Of the
! Treasury.

CURRENT COMMENT.
Boom in the silver States.
From the Denver Republican (Rep.

would naturally look for depression in
the silver camps in this state, the direct
contrary is true. The note sent out is as
cheerful as if the expected advance
agent" had already arrived and had open

who might apply.

The Georgia legislators who are trying
to have an anti-cigarette bill passed could
probably obtain some valuable pointers
with regard to such legislation, and the
efec tiveness Of it, by communicating with
some of the authorities in Iowa. That
state has a prohibitory cigarette law. vet
1t is stated in the newspapers that as
many cigarettes are being sold there as
was the case before the law was passed.
Dealers in tobacco have discovered that
the law cannot be enforced because It
interferes with interstate commerce, hence
any one in Iowa who has a nickel and
is hazardous enough to attempt TO pur-
chase a package of cigarettes can get
them. They come from other states in
original packages Of ten each, price five
cents, and the interstate commerce law
protects original packages. It Is not per-
missible, however, TO break bulk and sell
the cigarettes one at time, or in guam
titles less than a package.

Experts for Reyen1e,

"A New YORK paper, commenting on the
fact that experts of equal influence and
standing testified in the Maria BarberI
murder case in that city for and against
the theory that the defendant, Barberi.
was insane when she killed her lover. hints
that insanity experts are experts for rev.
enue. hint of that sort is, of course, a.
great injustice TO the learned gentlemen
who have made themselves so well ac-
quainted with all the phases of insanity
that they can readily find arguments in
almost any case in which they are called
to support the side which desires their tes-
timony.
In many of the important murder trials
in the large cities there is expert testimony
for the defendant to show he was crazy
when he committed the crime, and equally
as good expert testimony that he was of
sound mind. The experts do not feel
aggrieved by each others testimony, be-
cause they get their fees, which are pretty
fat ones in some cases. Nor do they i'm
pute to each other improper motives and
get mad and fight. Why should they ?
What would science or justice gain by such
a proceeding? Nothing, absolutely moth
ing So when one expert says the defend
ant was insane and another says he was
not insane they smile at each other pocket
their fees and go their different ways un-
til their services are again in demand.
OF course, the Jurors are no wiser be-
cause of this expert testimony. They have
heard one expert deny what the other as
serted. and their mental condition is, there
fore, just about what it was before the
experts were brought forward with their
fund of knowledge.
1t would seem as if this solemn expert
testimony farce would come to an end one
of these days. but just at present it ap-
pears to be as firmly fixed in the place it
has held so long in murder trials that it
would require a mighty effort to get rid
Of it. There are defendants in murder
cases so clearly insane that everybody
knows the fact. 1t is the cases in which
the insanity is so hidden that the closest
unframed observers cannot detect it that
afford the experts the opportunity for their
fine work.

A Fortunate Mistake.

Last Saturday several persons in
the country requested one of the
iurymen to bring them some whisky
when he returned from town. At
first he was rather reluctant (being
of a temperate character), but i1nally
consented and came to town Loaded
down with jugs and demijohns. He
sent the receptacles over to a groce-,
ry-saloon keeper, to be filled, and
about dusk started home with his
load. Imagine the surprise Of his
neighbors when they went to sip the
precious nectars, to find that all
their jugs had been filled with the
best sugar-house mOlasses, and not
"drap' of whisky did they have.
There was some little talk of a lynch
ing out in that neighbOrhOod, but
the men are all sober, the children
growing fat, and every one better of
on account of the mistake.

KeIker Acquitted.

The case of w. F. Kelker, charged
with murder for the killing of Fred
Lockweitz, was called Tuesday, and
consumed the time of the Circuit
Court that day and the next.
Kelker aud LOckweitz were tele-
graph linemen on the l.. & n. Rail
road. The killing took place last
September at Mrs. Holden's, near
the depot. The quarrel grew out of
some ugly stories the deceased was
said to have circulated about Mrs.
Kelker and her mother. Lockweitz
when approached by Kelker, denied
having circulated the stories; he
was also in his shirt sleeves and I'M
armed at the time of the shooting
made no effort to fight, and public
opinion at the time severely GEN.
sured the killing. But the jury
after hearing all the evidence, OIL
the first ballot stood unanimous TO
his acquittal.
