The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1896-11-27

Candidate Flood of the Tenth Virginia
district is to be commended for refusing
TO accept a certificate of election based
upon a technicality. His opponent is
Jacob Yost. Some of the tickets for Yost
were printed with his full name, and others
with only the initial, ]. 1t was proposed
that the tickets having only the initial be
thrown out, Notwithstanding the intention
of the voters, clearly, was that all of the
votes should be counted for Jacob Yost.
1T is to be feared that there are too many
politicians who would have been only too
glad Of the opportunity TO take the certi-
ficate of election upon the technicality.
IT is refreshing to observe Mr.. Floods
healthy sense of honor in politics.

Proved His Love.

They were two working girls and they
happened to meet the other day at the
restaurant where they eat luncheon, says
the Chicago Tribune. The brunette or
dered baked beans and lemonade, and the
blonde selected fruit cake and coffee. ITO
morrow is pay day, you know" she said,
in reply to the inquiring look of the other.
oh! Well, have you heard the news
about Mary? She's resigned"
Il know said the blonde. IT was in
hopes I'd be the first to tell you. She's
going to be married."
Yes; in lovely blue silk. forget the
name of the man she's going to marry.
He isn't very good looking, they say, but
Mary says he's intellectual. She says
"Oh, phsaw! You can't tell from Mary"
mo; but Sade's seen his photograph,
and she says he wears glasses"
Does he? Well, Mary's lucky, if she
is read-headed. Why, he would just do
anything in the world for that girl
''HumphP' said the brunette. That's the
way she talks now, but you can't tell a
thing about it until after they're mar
ried."
You can tell it easy enough In this case;
he's proved it already said the blonde
warmly.
Said he'd die for her, L suppose" re-
turned the brunette scornfully. Lots of
EN- talk that way before they have to
pay the butcher"
This isn't talk, anyhow he's proved his
love, tell you"
How? Did he save her life-or tell her
that her hair is golden?"
Neither; he sold his bicycle to buy her
an engagement ring"

why He Went West,

1t was the season of the year in Texas
when the cattle are rounded up to be
driven north for better grazing. The cow
boys had just finished supper, and sat
around their little dugout swapping lies.
Gradually the conversation turned on the
motives which had prompted the different
members of the group to go west. They
all told of the more or less discreditable
causes for their migration, with the ex-
cepton of a rather taciturn but generally
popular fellow who was known as Par
son jim" because of the clerical cut of
the attire which he universally affected.
why did you come west, Parson?'
queried Swamp-Angel Sam.
WELL" drawled out the individual ad-
dressed, II left the east because didn' t
build a church"
Everybody smiled at what was consid-
cred the drollery of the ''Parson," who,
not noticing the merriment which he had
created, continued:
1T was this way: We used to hold meet
ings in the district school house in Massa-
chusetts, and 1 did the preaching. The
little flock grew, and 1t was decided to
build small church. The funds, as they
were collected, were put into my hands
for safekeeping" He paused That's
why / came west"

The Picayune notes red letter day in
the shipment of grain from the port of
New Orleans. The day was Tuesday, Nov.
"a, and the shipments aggregat ted 608.40O
bushels, including 49l,4O0 bushels of corn.
5000 bushels of wheat and 10000 bushels
of oats. That is indeed splendid show
ing. Turning TO Baltimore we see the re-
port that the elevators of that city are
filled TO their capacity, and thousands of
loaded cars are standing on the side
tracks awaiting movement. To the south
of US and to the north of us grain is
pouring in a steady stream to Europe. But
not grain of 1t is going through the
port of Savannah. There is something
somewhere that needs to be looked after.
1t is to be hoped that President Conner
and Vice President Egan of the Central
and Mr.. Plant of the Savannah, Florida
and Western have made note of the
grain shipments from New Orleans and
Baltimore.

1t is no exaggeration to say that the
clock is gradually enslaving the whole of
the civilized world, says a writer in the
Pail Mall Gazette Not one of us but
can call to mind among our acquaintance
individuals who belong body and soul to
the clock-whose whole lives are domin-
ated by its chimes and intervals. The
attitude of such persons is one of servile
Difference to the clock.
Everything they do is with view of
conforming to its wishes. They sleep by
the clock, dress by the clock, eat by the
clock, sit, walk read, smoke, work by the
clock. Their heads are full of periods of
time-hours, minutes and seconds. They
spend their lives counting them. They can
never enjoy themselves or let themselves
go without pulling themselves up sudden
ly for fear they should forget the clock.
They will stop doing something useful, in
teresting, and enjoyable, and force them
selves to do something dull and uninterest-
ing, simply because the clock happened
to strike. And no matter how greatly they
desire to change an irksome occupation,
they will stick to 1t, because, forsooth,
the clock has not yet struck. They r1ay
be enjoying the most delightful slum5er
of a morning. but will bound out of bed
like skyrocket because the clock hap
pens to strike. And though they have
not the slightest inclination for sleep they
will put themselves forcibly to bed be-
cause the finger of the clock marks a GER
tain hour. Their whole lives are spent
in trying to force their natures into &C.
cordance with mere machine.
Such people are as much slaves to the
clock as the gent in the story Aladdin
were slaves to the lamp They are per-
petually at it's beck and call and mus,
obey its voice as they should that of the
Veriest tyrant.

Eugene Field as a Duck Hunter.

The Chicago Times-Herald tells a new
story about Eugene Field: The farmer
wanted a dollar for the duck. How do
you figure that out?" queried the poet.
do you mean to deny that you killed
my duck here2" demanded the granger.
That's true enough said Field, ''but
where does the responsibility really be-
long?" st don't understand you" "Why,
that duck of yours was particeps criminis
you call it, but 1 want dollar for the
duck, just the same" well, now, see
here, insisted Field; my good man, you
must acknowledge that your water fowl
was at least guilty of contributory neg
ligence. Instead of keeping away from
me while / was cunning for ducks that
misguided fowl deliberately invited death
by getting right in front of my gun just
as l was about to terminate the earthly
existence of a mallard." The farmer was
dazed into silence. at looks to me like a
clear case of suicide I'll wager you
hadn't fed that poor, heartsick discour-
aged duck for a month. No wonder 1t
found existence intolerable under such
circumstances and embraced the first op-
portunity to escape from a thraldom
worse than death. l suppose 1 ought to
charge you with cruelty to animals and
have you arrested, but have no dispo-
sition to deal harshly with you. If you'll
pay me for the ammunition 1 used and
the time 1 have wasted with you here I'm
willing to call the matter square and you
may keep the duck" But the farmer
shook his head and fled.

The Georgia legislature should give the
school book bill very careful considera-
ton. We take it that the legislature is
radically opposed to trusts, yet there is
a possibility that a trust could be formed
under the terms of the bill as outlined in
the dispatches yesterday. The purposes
of the bill, Of course. are not in that
direction, and the Trainer of the bill would
probably be one of the first persons to
combat trust of any sort. Still, the
people who form trusts would as soon
make one in school books as anything
else; hence the legislature should care

proposition before deciding to give out a

A Frank Admission.

Col. Fred Grant is about the only man
who has visited Mr.. Mckinley at Canton
since the election who openly admits he
would like to have an office. There have
been rumors that he has a chance of being
asked to accept the place of Secretary of
War. Probably some admiring friend
started the rumors. 1t cannot be stated
positively, however, that Col. Grant went
to Canton to find out whether or not they
have any foundation. If he did, he got no
satisfaction. Mr.. Mckinley is not ready
to announce the names of the members of
his cabinet yet, and will not be for a good
while.
The frankness of Col. Grant in saving
he would like to have a cabinet position
is commendable. If man wants an office
there is no good reason for saying he
doesn't He is entitled to much more res
pect for being perfectly frank about the
matter.
1t doesn't follow that because a man
wants an Office he is going to get it. There
are many men who would make good cab
met officers. and who would be glad to be
asked to assist Mr.. Mckinley in admins
tering the government, but who will not
be offered cabinet positions. There are
many things which have to be considered
in the forming OF cabinet, and 1t hap
pens sometimes that those finally chosen
are not men of first-class ability. There
are reasons which appear to make It adj
visable to appoint them which have no
connection whatever with the question of
their fitness.
During the next few months Mr.. Nc
Kinley will have many visitors, most Of
whom will be either ohice-seekers or the
friends Of those who seek office, and it
may be safely stated that not one of them
will admit that he seeks an Office for either
himself or a friend. Col Grant, therefore.
is made conspicuous by his frankness. and
his frankness may please Mr.. Mckinley
so much that he may be given more than
passing thought when the work OF
choosing cabinet officers has been begun.

NEURALGIA, CATARRH AND RHEUMA.
TISM COMPLETELY CURED.

George Briggs, of Moore, Oklahoma,
writes that P. P. P, Lippman's Great
Remedy, cured him of catarrh, facial
neuralgia and rheumatism, after three
years of intense suffering. The pain
lay in his cheek bone and temple, down
the right side of kis face, along his
upper lip, and from the slightest touch
he suffered agonies for weeks at time.
Could only open his mouth wide enough
to admit teaspoon, and any acid in
his food would put him in torture. He
had a consultation of the best physi-
clans in Texas, but all to no purpose.
Catarrh and rheumatism were also
causing him much trouble, until he
tried P. p. P. He says he is well and
will swear that there are no cases of
neuralgia, catarrh and rheumatism,
no matter how chronic or how old the
cases are, that p. P. 2. will not make
a total cure of.
Mr.. Briggs winds up his testimony
by saying he thanks God and our med
icine, P. P. p Lippman's Great Rem
edy, for the great cure.
Kidney troubles, if neglected, bring
about serious and painful and very
often fatal results. p. P. P. removes
the Irregularities, and cures the dis
eased parts.
Dyspepsia and indigestion, skin and
blood diseases, can be speedily removed
by P. P. p, Lippman's Great Remedy
Ladies, take P. P. P. and rid your
face of pimples, blotches, freckles,
yellow or muddy skin, wrinkles and
vulgar redness.
