just what He Expected.

A fellow we all know at the club. by
name Jaspar, is a man who at times
manages to be genuinely funny, says the
Hartford Times Strolling down the
street the other day, he came unexpect-
eddy upon a crowd gathered together Just
outside a chemists shop.
The center Of attraction proved to be
a lady with a wasp-like waist, who. for
some reason or other, had elected to
swoon there.
Tenderly, very tenderly, they carried
her into the shop of the chemist. who
proceeded to do what he could for the
inanimate one.
Jaspar meanwhile, had taken a turn
up the road. Returning from this after
a space Of about ten minutes, he looked
into the shop and called out:
How Is she now7''
"oh!" replied the chemist. "she's COM
ing tor
"Ahln replied Jaspar. Come in two
has she. poor thing? It's just what / was
afraid Of"

Showing 10 BE Proud of.
From the Florida Citizen.

The Savannah News published yester-
day remarkably full and well digested
review Of the trade OF Savannah for the
past year. Considering the general dull
ness OF business throughout the country
the exhibit was one of which our Georgia
neighbor might be justly proud. Among
the great staples, cotton showed a con-
siderable falling of in receipts, and gro
ceries in the volume of sales, but on the
other hand the receipts of naval stores
We're very much greater than In 1S9l-95.
and the sales Of lumber. fertilizers, hard
ware and furniture recorded noteworthy
gains The total value of the cityis trade
was reported at Y,cOo,ooO in excess OF the
previous year.

Politics an Texns.

IT is not an easy matter for an outsider
to understand the political situation in
Texas. Some figures given out by Texas
delegates TO the Indianapolis convention
We're calculated to create the impression
that Mckinley has chance for getting
the whole of the electoral vote of the
state. They said that if there was fusion
between the republicans and populists
on the basis that the republicans should
have the presidential electors and the
populists the state offices Mckinley would
get the electoral vote of that state.
The Texas papers, however. do not seem
to think the populists would be willing to
effect a fusion with the republicans on
that basis. Their statement is that thus
far the populists have shown a disposi-
tion to give the republicans only five of
the fifteen electoral votes to which the
state is entitled. 1t is extremely doubt
full, however. If the republicans would be
willing 20 fuse with the populists unless
they were dealt with more literally.
The Galveston News expresses the opin-
ion that the republican vote cannot be
thrown solidly to the populist ticket by
any arrangement which the republican
leaders can make. The democrats are GER
tain to control large part of the colored
republican vote under any circumstances.
That being the case 1t can be quite safely
stated that the democrats will carry the
state for both their state and national
tickets. Only by the most complete fusion
between the republicans and populists
could the state be wrested from the dem
ocrats, and fusion Of that sort is not at
all probable. The electoral vote OF Texas
will be cast for Mr.. Bryan.

Too Far the other Way.
From the Macon Telegraph pem.l.

Democratic tradition and belief, as we
understand them, are unqualihedly in ia
vor of the free coinage of both silver and
gold at the commercial ratio of the two
metals. The party had never favored any
other policy until the last convention met
at Chicago. There a departure was made
in favor of free coinage at an arbitrary
ratio. The Indianapolis convention makes
an even wider departure by declaring for
the gold standard pure and simple. 1t
practically declares that bimetallism is
impossible, even under an international
agreement. For the first time in the his
tory OF the country a political party con-
ventlon takes this position. Neither dem
ocratic, whig or republican convention has
heretofore declared in favor OF gold as
the only primary money.

Mako Some ALLOWANCE.
FROM the NashvIlle American pem.l.

1t will not do for democrats supporting
Mr.. Bryan to accept in their literal sense
his enthusiastic words uttered when I'M
der the excitement of speaking to a vast
multitude. that he does not want the votes
of those who are not thoroughly in ac-
cord with the Chicago platform, for if
the democratic campaign is made on that
idea in many states democrats who are
now supporting the Chicago nominees, be-
cause they hold them to be the regular
nominees win be forced out of the party
and into the ranks Of national democrats.
Such a result in some southern states
might be disastrous in more ways than
ono.

Georgians will read with interest the
revelations with regard to the South Car
DINA dispensary that are being made by
Gov. Evans, Dispenser Nixon and others,
and will become more firmly than ever
grounded in their determination not to
have the liquor question settled on the
South Carolina plan. 1t would seem, from
the evidence so far submitted, that the
dispensary institution is not only a gigan-
tic political machine. but is a hot bed OF
corruption.

The story of Spanish plot to have the
city Of Havana burned is probably a base

Senator Butler. chairman of the popu-
list national committee, regards the Geor-
gia state election as being important in
its bearing upon the question of fusion
between the democrats and populists of
this state. There has been no fusion"
says he, land there will be none until
after the state election. Both parties
have full state tickets in the field, and
they will make the fight to a finish on
state issues. Theoresult win show the
relative strength OF, the two parties, and
may possibly afford basis for getting
together" 1t would seem that Senator
Butler expects the Georgia democrats to
make considerable concessions to his par
ty. He has announced that he means to
drive the hardest kind of bargains posi-
BILE in his dealings with democrats all
along the lines. 1t would be surprising
If he We're able TO get much out of the
Georgia democrats. They do not need
the assistance of his party, and will not
be disposed to purchase something they
have no use for.

News from along the Spanish trocha in
Cuba is Of most dismal character, from
the Spanish point OF view. 1t is said the
soldiers along the line are dying Of disease
in as great numbers as was the case dur
ing July and August. The heat has not
moderated, and the rains continue TO be
torrential. The men who are not III or
dying seem to have lost all human ways,
according to letter from Havana. They
are limited to one-third rations, which
means one meal in twenty-four hours.

result is that they are extremely brutal.

Hurrah for Georgia !

Georgia leaves the national rifle range

tition they should demonstrate similar
skill, even though the target be inanimate.
