Not Complaining.

The car was crowded, and there was
barely room for the tall, somewhat flash
lily dressed man who swung himself on
the back platform and squeezed his way
to the railing, says the Chicago Tribune.
He drew a newspaper from his pocket.
and in moment was apparently absorbed
in its contents.
He soon worked his way around until
he stood facing short, heavy-set man
whose breathing was somewhat interfered
with ~ the pressure of the crowd about
him. The tall mans paper half hid the
fat man from view and covered the upper
part of his body like a blanket
The car logged along through La Sale
street tunnel the crowd on it's feet sway
ing back and forth with the turning of
the curves. AS the car emerged on the
other side the conductor forced his way
through the rear door and began collect
ing fares from the crowd on the platform.
AS he rus he'd his way out there was the
usual squirting and twisting to make
room, and the tall man leaned over his
vis-a-vie and half smothered him with
his new: paper.
A moment later the tall man hurriedlv
elbowed his way to the steps, and, jump
ing OF, walked rapidly down sida
street. The fat man put his hand to his
scarf inqulringiy and quietly remarked:
hat rascal has got my spark 1
thought he was after it all the time"
why didn't you nail him before he
got of the carp exclaimed the conductor.
"Oh, was not anxious to make a row
and, besides, 1 don't think I have any
cause to complain. When I felt him
working at my diamond l quietly took his
watch out of his pocket" holding it up
and, as it is gold one and looks to
be worth about $40 l guess l am ahead
of the game. My diamond looked tempt-
ing, but it was not worth over $40. 1 never
picked mans pocket before, but under
the circumstances. I feel justified. and
am really under obligations to the gen
tleman for affording me this opportunity
to get good watch so cheap"

Even the insects and the fowls are TAX
ing an interest and part in current poll
tics. Not long ago a Chicago newspa-
per discovered a man who had a spider
that had written McKinleys name in its
web. And now comes a Kentucky man
with hen that has laid an egg with the
initial 'B," an American dollar and the
magical figures '16 to J." on the shell
in bas relief. The most remarkable thing
about the egg, by the way, is that 1t
should have been found in Kentucky and
not Georgia.

The registration for the November cleo
ton has just closed in South Carolina. Re
turns to the Office of secretary of state
show that there has been a very light reg
istration of colored voters. The proper
ton in the state at large is probably about
seven whites to one black. In only one
county, Georgetown. was the black reg
istTation larger than the white, and in
that county the difference is less than hf-
ty. In Beaufort, where the heaviest black
vote has heretofore been polled. the fig
ures are GA white and SOB black voters. In
Hampton county which is in the southern
portion of the state and bordering on the
back belt the registration is 1.625 white
and 50 black. This is the first general reg
istration under the provisions OF the new
constitution, and it would seem that the
constitution makers had accomplished
their avowed purpose with regard to the
black vote.

have been so many similar rumors that
amounted to nothing that it is a difficult

Ounht to De sntisned.
From the Atlanta Constitution Dem,

The democratic party ought to be entire
ly satisfied with the Endorsement the peo-
pie have given 1t. The result shows that
the people Of Georgia are entirely salts
fled with the results of democratic gov
ernment and we judge, from the increased
majority OF the party, that those demo-
Gratis who have been acting with the pop
ulists have found 1t convenient to return
to the fold preparatory to joining in the
great movement in support of Bryan.

An Agreeable Surprise.
From the Columbus Is. c. State DEM

The size Of the democratic majority in
Georgia is an agreeable surprise. The
populists had nominated prominent pro-
hbitionists, a man Of parts and popular
fly. and he made hot campaign. attract
ing considerable prohibition support from
the democracy. The democratic candi-
date. Gov. Atkinson, was Handicapped by
the opposition to an alleged state ring
OF which he was said TO be the represen-
tative. and by an appeal to the negroes
made in his behalf by some accomplished
boomerang artist. That he should have
been able to increase his majority OF two
years ago Is rather surprising A good
many populists must have returned to the
fold.

Special dispatches to New York, Balti-
more and Philadelphia newspapers during
last week told of series Of deals be-
ing made between the populists and dem
ocrats of Georgia whereby the populists
were to support democratic state officers
in return for democratic support of pop
ulist members of the legislature The
allegation was that the deal had the sane
ton of Mr.. Watson who, seeing his pros
poets for the vice presidency going glim-
merng, wished to secure the Georgia ssn-
atorship which will be filled by the APP
preaching legislature. The story was
plauslbly constructed, and may have fool
ed some people at a distance who were
not well informed with regard to the sit
uation in this state. The falsity Of the
yarn, however is strikingly shown by the
fact that the populists will not have many
more than half as many members in the
forthcoming legislature as they had in the
last one.

fight and his victory rebounds TO the hon

The republicans must he hard pushed
for material out of which to make politi-
cal capital They are circulating a state
ment to the effect that on one occasion
Mr.. Bryan, when a member of the ways
and means committee, called a delega-
ton of members of the Window Glass
Workers Association, which appeared be-
fore the committee to protest against a
reduction of the duty on glass; public
beggars" They say this remark was IAN
insult to labor" and they are giving it
wide circulation, with the hope of influ-
encing workmen against Mr.. Bryan.
They must think that workmen lack
average intelligence. Even if Mr. Bryan
said what he is alleged to have said he
did not insult labor. The sense in whlcn
he used the word 'beggar" could not be
construed as insulting to labor.
According to the story, Mr.. Bryan said
to the manufacturers. who were demand
ing Of the ways and means committee
higher duties, that they were public rob-
bers. One of the delegation of glass
blowers asked Mr.. Bryan what he would
call them, If he called their employers rob
bers, and he replied, "Oh, you are public
beggars." 1t is evident that the remark
was not made seriously. 1t was one CT
those little pleasantries which are in
dulged in on occasions like that when Mr..
Bryan is said to have made the remark
out of which the republicans are now
trying to make political capital.
The republicans have secured an affi-
davit that Mr.. Bryan made the remark in
question, and they seem to think they
have got hold of something that will cause
workmen to leave Mr.. Bryan in droves.
As matter of fact the average work.
man is apt to think the making use of
such remark for political purposes is
very small politics. The attempt to infu-
ence workmen by such means is much
more likely to hurt than help the republic
can cause.

The New orleans newspapers are i'm
mensely pleased with the success of the
anti-high hat law of that state. They
say that a visit to the local theaters dem
onstrates the wisdom OF the law, and
shows that the ladies make a much more
pleasing and attractive appearance when
Invested of their ponderous and objec-
tionable headgear. In this city, happily,
such a law is not needed. The great ma
jority of the ladies' who attend the the
alter here have fallen in with the spirit
of reform in the matter Of high theater
hats, and either uncover their heads upon
entering the house or wear small and pref
ty bonnets that do not interfere with any
body's view Of the stage. There have
been fewer big hats worn in the Savan-
nah theater this season than probably
in any other theater of its size and i'm
portance in the country. The ladies' OF
this city have determined to show the
men that they will not permit It to be
said they are lacking in consideration
for the comfort and enjoyment Of others
1t is amusing TO note how some of the
anti-Chicago ticket newspapers are ex-
planning the Georgia majority.

wheat and the Election.

The advance of 10 to u cents bushel
in the price of wheat is likely to have
considerable effect on the election. The
republicans say it will, and democrats do
not express a different opinion.
The advance has been caused by the
increased demand. The amount Of wheat
that is being exported is very large. A
great deal of it is going to India, one OF
the largest wheat growing countries in
the world. The outlook for the wheat
crop in India is bad, and last years wheat
crop in Australia was partial failure,
Hence Australia has no wheat to export,
and India is compelled to import it.
Neither India nor Australia having any
wheat for export, the European demand
on the United States is naturally much
greater. That is why the price of wheat
is advancing.
The fact that the price is advancing,
while the price of silver is declining seems
to prove the incorrectness of the argu-
ment of the silverltes. viz, that the price
of wheat always advances as the price Of
silver advances, and in proportion as the
people lose faith in that argument, they
are likely to turn away from the silver
party.
1t is no doubt true that overproduction
has been the cause of the low price Of
wheat during the last two or three years.
More wheat was raised than the world
needed. Consequently the price of it de-
clined. Now, owing to the failure of the
wheat crop in other wheat growing coun-
and consequently the price also. II the
failure of the crop in India should be as
great as it is believed it will be our farm
ers may get a dollar a bushel for their
wheat before the middle of January.

From the New Mexican.
Again the story that the Denver & Rio

trains will be running from Denver to the
Pacific coast over the Rio Grande by way
Of Santa Fe AMI the Atlantic e. Pacific

This is from the Denver Republican Of

Az Is well known the d. & X u. now has
surveyors at work on Y eta Pass seeking en-
improved route. They have found one on
Indian creek that is lower and less crooked
than the present route, and is some tive We

next month, this new route will be adopted.
The Republican adds:
"From present advices, It Is learned that
the plan Of the Denver a. Rio Grande own

be pushed on, to connect with the Atlantic

EAST LAS VEGAS, June lin the days
Of old, in the dim and misty past, the e.
Romero Hose company was organized.
Times were frisky and money was just
,loaflng around for use. A cart was bought,
ditto hose. "Years have come and gone,
Lorens, /" and the aforesaid mentioned cart
and hose have about out-lived their useful
ness, and the boys have noticed gray
whiskers on the apparatus. The laborer is
reckoned worthy Of his hire, and the cart
aud hose have seen their day.
Before proceeding with this sad and
painful narrative, it is only due to the
public to mention the fact that the e.
Romero's DOM want a new cart, but they
would like to see the old one in a service
able condition. AS to hose, that is another
matter. The company Is handicapped to
a degree on account Of the condition Of the
same.
Some 800 feet of hose Is what the boys
need, and they need 1t bad. Will they get
it?
Something must be dido or course, ev-
cry body Is aware of this fact. The boys
are in a quandary, as to how Old Some
