1t Cannot BE True,

One of the statements given out by Mr..
Bynum, the chairman of the campaign
committee of the national democrats, is
that Chairman Jones of the democratic
campaign committee has been trying to
get Mr.. Sewall to withdraw from the Pres
idential ticket in order that his place may
be filled by Mr.. Watson. and that Mr..
Bryan has interfered to prevent Mr.. Sew
alrs withdrawal until after the state DEM
ocratic convention of New York has been
held.
This story doesn't bear the marks OF
truth. II Chairman Jones had been try
ing to force Mr.. sewall of the ticket the
fact would have been known long ago.
But why should he want to force him off
the ticket? Does anybody believe that
Mr.. Watson would bring more
votes to the ticket than Mr.. Sewall
will? The very reason given for Mr..
Bryan's interference to prevent Mr.. Sew
alls withdrawal until after the New York
state democratic convention shows beyond
question that the opinion is held that IL
Mr.. Sewall should withdraw from the
ticket and Mr.. Watson put in his place.
democrats would drop away from the tick
ct by the thousands in every state Why
is II claimed that Mr.. Bryan doesn't want
Mr. Sewall 10 withdraw until after the
state democratic convention Of New York?
II is that that convention wouldn't in
dorse the Chicago ticket and platform II
Mr. Watson were put on the ticket. Well.
II democrats like the Tammanvites
wouldn't indorse ticket with Watson on
IT, would democrats generally vote ticket
that such sticklers for party regularity
wouldn't irdorse? They certainly wouldn't
II can be stated. therefore. with a great
degree OF certainty that Chairman Jones
is not tryinG TO get rid OF Mr.. Sewall
Nothing would please the republicans
and national democrats better than for
she democrats to change their ticket-put

The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1896-09-13

In his speech at Buena Vista on Thurs
day Senator John B. Gordon gave con-
siderable attention to the prohibition
question. He declared that the temper
ance cause had his undying devotion, but
that 1t was the greatest kind of a mis-
take TO shove" an untried reform on
people too rapidly. He spoke of the folly
of relaxing the grip on local option which
has done so much for the cause of tenn
perance in this state. and jumping at the
shadow of general prohibition for politi-
cal purposes. In his opinion, he said,
local option would take care of the liquor
question better than anything that has
been offered as a substitute.
That Gen. Gordon Is right about this
there isn't a shadow of doubt. By
means of local option the prohibitionists
have bantshed intoxicants from about
four-ffths of the counties of the state
II they were content to continue their
campaign of education they would very
soon get control of about all the other
counties. But they are not content to go
slow with almost the certainty of finally
accomplishing their purpose. They have
preferred to mix up the temperance
cause with politics. For the mere chance
of getting a general prohibition law they
have agreed to do their utmost to turn
the state over TO the populists, although
the populst party is not prohibition
party. 1t is party that will favor al
most anything that win help it to get the
offices. And yet it is to this party that
the prohibition leaders have intrusted
their cause.
One of the reasons why the national
prohibition party has never ad-
vanced its cause to any great
extent is that it's leaders are
not practical men. They may be sim
cere enough. but 1t requires something
more than sincerity to conduct success
fully a reform movement.
In this state the democratic party said
to the prohibitionists that it would favor
local option, and it enacted a local OBJ
ton lava law that has proven TO be
em5nently successful in producing good
results. The enactment Of that law was
a practical way 81 handling the liquor
question. Now The prohibitionists want
something else-they want a law that
cannot be enforced. They are willing
apparently 10 sacrifice substance for
shadow. II they can say the state is un-
der a prohibition law they viii be salts
fed. however much liquor may be sold
in blind tigers They would not OF
course admit that such Is the case, yet
they must know that a prohibltory law
cannot be enforced in counties in which
there is a strong public sentiment against
It. They must know 1t because experience
proves It.
The prohibition leaders have made a
mistake in joining their cause with pop
ulism-a mistake the election will make
them see. Democrats who are prohibi-
tlonists are not going to help put popu-
lists in Office, and in the legislature they
will stand by the policy advocated by
their party IN the campaign.

The Argumentative Conductor.

The passengers in a Euclid avenue mo-
tor a day or two ago, says the Cleveland
Plain Dealer. were startled by hearing a
shrill voice exclaim;
mo. amt crazy--I know what I'm
talking aboutP
1t was the voice Of the little conductor,
and the little conductor was on the back
platform engaged in vigorous discussion
with a passenger. What the passenger
said couldn't be heard, but the voice of the
little conductor drifted through the open
door in disjointed fragments, and when
the passengers looked around the little
conductors arms were flying like wind
mills.
Mexican dollars" roared the little con-
ductor, 'nonsense-British dictation-

Br-r-r-r! went the bell, but the little
conductor did not heed. Br-r-r-r!
Say" yelled a man in the rear seat,

conductor so savagely that the man in the
rear seat sat back very suddenly.
Then the little conductor rang the bell
with one eye on his alighting passenger
and the Other on his forensic opponent
And when the latter presently got off
the conductor smiled. He had missed four
fares. failed to stop for three passengers
and had tumbled a fat passenger in the
mud by starting too suddenly, but he felt
that he had held his own in debate, and
there was a ring of triumph in his voice
as he walked through the car shouting

In a Prohibition Town.

1t was in a suburban town, says the Chi
cago Times-Herald, where temperance
principles are so strict that the citizens
will not drink hard water, that wild-eyed
disheveled man rushed into the leading
drug store and asked, with a groan be-
tween each word
Got any honey?''
YES"
ANY red pepper?''
Lots of it."
"Quinine?"

when his customer said:

per at home"
"All right"
'And if you'd just put the quinine up in
bulk I'd be much obliged"
certainly"
1t was not until the next day that the
true inwardness of the occasion dawned
on the druggist. Then he went about like
one in dream repeating this formula:
Honey and whisky! Honey and whisky!
What an idiot was not to see through
it?"

1t is regrettable that Mr.. Bryan has TAX
en- such a pronounced position in opposi-
ton TO the policy adopted by Mr.. Cleve-
land in suppressing the Chicago riot in
1894 His promise not to adopt a similar
policy il he should be elected President,
and a like condition of affairs should arise
during his administration, will not make
him friends in the south, nor, we fear, in
any other part of the country. 1t is true
that the Chicago platform authorizes the
position which Mr.. Bryan takes. but we
feel certain that the clause of that plat
form which contains a protest against
federal interference in local affairs, would
not have found a place in that instrument
in the shape in which it appears, if it had
not been for the influence of Gov. Altgeld
of Illinois.
our recollection Is ftat the Presidents
action in suppressing the Chicago riot
was warmly approved north and south,
and, as Attorney General Harmon says
in his letter published in the Morning
News yesterday, was commended by the
Senate in a resolution which was voted
1OI Dy DUN utHlONIdLS anu ItBuDlNdAAS
That resolution was drafted by Senator
Daniel of Virginia, who presided over the
Chicago convention, and our recollection
is that it was supported by Senator Cor
don of this state, in a speech which cleo
triied the country
The President was sustained, and heart
lily sustained, by senator's and representa-
tives, and leading men in all the states.
not only by those who favor a policy Of
Capitalization, but also by those who are
the strongest advocates of states rights.
The fact is the question of states rights
was not involved. The President, as the
attorney general points out, had the right.
under the law, to do just what he did.
He was not required to wait for the gov
ernor Of Illinois to call for federal assist
ance. The authority of the federal gov
eminent was being resisted-the carrying
of the mails was being interferred with
and it was the duty of the federal govern
ment to assert its authority.
The rioters, it was declared, were not
the railroad strikers, but irresponsible
roughs and hoodlums of Chicago The
railroad strikers therefore had no right to
complain. and. as far as we know, fair
minded railroad men have never complain
ed Of the action of the federal government
in suppressing the riot.
Again we say, it is regrettable that Mr..
Bryan has seen fit to bring this matter
forward at this time and indirectly con-
denim the President for the course he pur-
he has expressed he will deprive himself
of the sympathy and support of some of
the best and truest democrats in the coun-
fry

why the Peace onering rallied.

At o'clock last Saturday morning a
well-known downtown politician awoke
to the realization that he was very much
under the influence of liquor, says the
Philadelphia Record. He knew he would
have to square himself with his wife in
some way, so going to an all-night cafe,
he had a dozen reed birds nicely broiled,
and armed with this peace offering, he
finally reached home. With considerable
difficulty he launched himself into his
wife's sleeping apartments. Are zue
wake, darling?" he hiccoughed. There
was no reply from the bed II shay, dear
are zue walker" he repeated. Still no re-
ply. "Thash right" calculated the inebri-
ate. Don shay word. JUS lie zhere an
shulk. Nemmie. l got shome re-hic!-
reedies, shome nish re-reed birdsh, an
we'll jus have a nish little shupper. Wa
till light CASH" After several futile at
tempts the befuddled husband succeeded in
efforts, and, turning to the bed, discov-
cred it was empty. Not until then did he
recollect that his better half had been at
Atlantic City for three weeks. He doesn't
remember what became of the reed birds.

How to Keen a CoIIection.

Various are the hobbies of men, and
among the most prominent at the present
time is that of collecting Columbian half
dollars, says the Philadelphia Record.
Among the hoarders of this much-prized
coin is numbered a gentleman of consid-
cradle means, though conspicuously lack
ing in very necessary adjunct easily
guessed. Having amassed after much
labor quite a pile of these coins, he was
much troubled in his mind as to how he
could most securely keep them. They
were heavy, and occupied much room,
and withal he was not satisfied. At last
he thought a most happy and brilliant
thought. Bundling up his coins, he went
post haste to bank where he is well
known, and dropping his package at the
teller's window, he said, in a most import
ant manner: II have interested myself
considerable lately as to how l could best
keep these coins about me, and l have
come to the conclusion I could not do
better than to have them changed into
S10-bills, as they are more easily carried.

''The Greatest of These Is Charity"
If there is one institution that stands
for charity,.it is the Red Cross society.
Its scope and field are worldwide. Its
mission is to nurse the sick, feed the starry
ing and cloth the naked Its benihcent
purposes have been recognized in an inter
national agreement, and even the Turk
opens his doors to it's workers. The gull
ing spirit of the society is Miss Clara Bar
ton. who is devoting her life to carrying
out the aims Of the institution which has
attained to a place of prominence and
influence as a result of her labors.
The people of this section had. not a
great while ago. practical demonstration
of how the society goes about succoring
the distressed. in the relief work done un-
der the personal supervision of Miss Bar
ton on the sea islands after the great cy-
clone. 1t is true that there was some
complaint of partiality in the work. But
it seems that time has shown that Miss
Barton managed we'll. and a just mead of
praise will be accorded her and the society
for their efforts.
Miss Barton, as is very we'll known, mas
just left Turkey after a season of work
among the suffering Armenians. She pen
etrated the districts in which the fearful
slaughters of Christians took place, and
carried food and medicines to the survi-
ors of the horrors. DR.. Talmage said,
about the time of her departure, that it
would be worth a Christians life to at
tempt to go into the districts she pro-
posed to visit. But she went, and success
fully prosecuted her mission.
Her sailing from Constantinople the
other day was made the occasion Of "a
great display by the representatives of all
the foreign governments stationed there.
Bunting was lavishly displayed and an
escort of many craft accompanied her YES
sci out of the harbor. Even the natives
took part in the demonstration. The tri-
butte, however, was not so much to the
individual as to the cause she represents.
She is the embodiment of one touch of
nature that makes the whole world kin.
Charity makes brothers of the Christian
and the Turk, and the Gentle and the
jew.

the preceding year. There was a decrease
of cotton receipts owing to the great re-

"Everybody's business is nobody's bus
mess" Everybody in Savannah is inter-
ested in having the park extension side
walks in first class condition, but It seems
10 be nobody's business TO put them in
such condition. The extension. it ap-
pears. belongs to about everybody and
nobody in particular. The city council
has nothing to do with the walks. the
military companies have nothing to do
with them, the park commission has moth
ing to do with them, the commissioner OF
public works has nothing to do with them.
the street and lane committee has nothing
10 do with them. Meantime the walks
are in positively disreputable condition.
They might be made as fine promenades
as could be found in a dozen states. Now
they are an eye-sore.
