Candidate Bryan had a rabbit foot in
his pocket when he was nominated II
had been given him the day before. when
there was little or no thought that his
candidacy would amount TO much. II is
said 10 be the left hind foot OF a grave
yard rabbit, killed in the dark OF the
moon-the most potent Of all rabbit foot
charms. lie is now working the rabbit
foot for the election
An astrologer has cast Nr. Bryan's no
roscope The basis Of the calculations
was made up Of the date and hour of the
candidates birth. and the date and hour
Of his nomination. The conclusion reached
by the wise man. from the position Of the
planets, and other sources OF occult in
formation. is that Mr. Bryan will be
elected % the presidency. The astrologer
who cast this horoscope IS the one who
cast a horoscope for Mr.. Cleveland some
years ago. and foretold his election. His
successful forecast in the one instance is
an earnest that he is probably as near
right in the other as It is possible for an
astrologer to be.
Mai. Mckinley was nominated on the
anniversary Of the battle Of Waterloo.
The connection between that anniversary
and the nomination lies in the fact that
Mckinley is known Familiarity as the Ma
poleon Of protection. And there are many
people who predict that he will meet his
political Waterloo as soon as the voters
come TO the polls. It Is said that at din
ner on the day he was notified of his
nomination Maj. Mckinley upset a salt
cellar.
Mr. Bryan was nominated on Friday
There are thousands of people-even edu-
Gated and intellectual people-whO would
not begin an. important undertaking or
start on a long journey on Friday
Whether or not the Friday omen applies
to a man Of destiny. such as the astrolo-
ger says Mr.. Bryan is. remains to be
seen. The probability is that he is exempt,
for It Is hardly likely that Mckinley and
Bryan will both De defeated for the pres
idency. One or the other must win, I'M
der anything like ordinary circumstances.
Bryan seems to have the best Of the
forecasts. The charms are working his
way. The election Of Mckinley would
upset lots of pet superstitions.

HydrODhobIn.

An interesting controversy is in prog
ress between certain humanltarians and
comparatively unknown physicians on
the one side, and medical publications
ana some leading doctors on the other
The subject of the controversy IS vivisec-
ton in the interest Of science. and incl
dentally the malady. hydrophobia. few
days ago we published extracts from and
commented on a circular letter sent out
by the American Administration Soc!-
ETY., in which II was asserted upon medi-
cal authority that hydrophobia is an ex-
tremely rare, complaint even in dogs, and
comparatively unknown in mankind. In
the circular an appeal was made to the
public not to circulate stories about al
legged mad dogs, and the terrible results
to human beings bitten by them, be-
cause such accounts brighten people into
nervous disorders and cause brutal treat
ment of the animals suspected Of mad
ness. "The condition of hysterlcal ex-
element described as hydrophobia," went
on the circular sis merely a symptom
due usually to a dread Of the disease.
such dread being caused by realistic re-
ports acting upon the imagination of per-
sons bitten or scratched by animals sus-
pected of rabies"
The Medical Record of New York takes
up the cudgels against that statement Of
the case 1t contends that there is as
much reason to deny that hysteria is a
disease, and a somewhat common one, as
to say that hydrophobia is only an alb
normal condition of the mind caused by
fright. Hysteria is one of the clinical
truths that has received general profess
sional acceptance. The practice of lead
ers of the profession has demonstrated
that hysteria is as much a reality as
typhoid fever or pneumonia. "Those who
deny that there is such disease as hy-
drophobia," says the Record, may as
well deny that there is such a disorder as
hysteria. Perhaps, however. the scientific
world is wrong, and the dissenters are
right No doubt they are as nearly right
as they usually are" The Record as
serts that the conclusion that there is
no such disease as hydrophobia, reached
by the physicians quoted in the circular
referred to. rests upon the fact that they
had never seen a case, and that it is
supremest folly to base a conclusion solely
upon negative evidence and deny the ex-
istence of that which has never come un-
der ones own observation.
When doctors disagree, who shall de-
eide? While the authorities in medicine
and the humanitarians are disputing
about the existence of hydrophobia. it
would be the best policy for everybody to
give even the dogs that are merely alleged
to be mad as wide a berth as is posi-

The Boston Herald makes some COM
menis on an article tn lions Herald rela-
I tive TO the condition OF the cOlored peo-
I r.e in Boston. II there IS any place at
che north in which colored people could
reasonably expect 10 enjoy special privi-
- 81 is Boston. because in that city
there is a large element that IS always
insisting that the colorei people are i'm
posed upon in the south. and that they
are denied many rights and privileges
10 which they are fairly entitled. It
seems. however. that they are not making
as much progress in enlightened and pro-
gressive Boston as they are in the south.
The writer in lions Herald says that
tho colored people in Boston are huddled
together in one section OF the city. and
that the white people viii have nothing
10 do with them socially. The opportuni-
ties they have for getting employment are
comparatively few. and therefore their
material Advancement is slow. Continu-
ing The Herald writer says: with years
Of residence in Boston. we never saw
there a negro with hatchet OF a trowel.
nor even with a bIacksmith's apron.
Doubtless there are some, but they are
few. Here the negro carries the hod. ia
the south he lays the brick and mortar;
here he shovels out the cellar. there he
frames the dwelling; here ne whitewashes
the fences, there he paints the houses.
here he cleans the stable. there ne shoes
the horses; here he is a common laborer.
there he is an artisan"
The foregoing is a pretty accurate state
ment Of the condition of the negro at the
north and at the south. It can be readi-
ly seen that his chances for getting ahead
In the world are many times greater at
the south than at the north. why is 1T
then that the north is continually crltl-
cising the south for its treatment of he
negro? One would suppose from these
criticisms that at the north the negro
not only has greater chances to rise in
the world but that he is accorded some
measure OF social recognition. The truth.
as discovered by lions Herald. is that at
the north the line IS drawn strictly
against him in every way He is not only
not admitted to homes of white people
of any class on terms of equality but he
is shut out from trades and occupations
that are open to him in the south.
The reason the southern negroes do not
so north is that they would starve there.
Not only that but they IND a distinctly
hostile feeling to blacks not only IN New
England but elsewhere at the north. They
are practically told they are not wanted
and yet. northern voices in the maya
zines, newspapers. from the pulpit and
the lecture platform are raised up in con-
demnation of the south's treatment OF
the blacks. Can il be possible that the

The Georgia Dairymen's Association
will hold an exposition in Macon on Aug.
10 and 20. There will be four classes of
dairy products, in each of which valua-
BILE premiums will be given. Dairy prod
ucts are receiving more attention in this
state than ever before, but not as muen
as they deserve. Georgia should manufac-
ture all the butter and cheese she needs.
She has every advantage for the produc-
ing of such supplies. Heretofore, while
cotton was just about the only crop given
any attention, the north and west were
looked to for butter and cheese, as well as
corn and bacon. Now there has been a
change. Georgia is planting corn and cur
ing bacon. 1t will probably not be a great
while before she will not need to import
bushel of corn or a pound of meat. II
should be the same way with the dairy
products. And this forthcoming expos,-
tion at Macon viii be step in the direc-
ton of putting the state on an independ-
ent basis.

Get Her GO. GnIIngherr,

The expression in the headline has be-
come about as well known, probably,
wherever the English language is spok-
en- as Its more elegant equivalents which
assert that the game is not worth the
candle, or that urihes are often not worth
the time expended upon them. For that
is what the advice to Gallagher originally
meant. Notwithstanding 1t has been made
to mean almost anything, and nothing,
since it became part of the recognized
slang vocabulary.
1t is interesting to revert to the origin
Of the expression. and to recall that It
grew out of the fight Of a public servant
against a corrupt gang. The death Of ex-
Alderman Peevey of Chicago a few days
ago brings the matter to mind 1t was
Peevey who caused the coining of the
phrase. When he was a member of the
Chicago city council there was in the city
a particularly notorious gang of gamblers
and blacklegs led by one Gallagher. These
men were in touch with some of the
bosses of the council and prominent lob
byists, and they usually managed to get
what they wanted from the council.
Three councilmen. however, gave the CAL
lagher gang no end of trouble. They were
Aldermen Peevey. Sam Medil and John
Bowling. They We're marked by the gang
for punishment. Bowling and Mediu were
punished and inundated and 'knuck-
led to the gang. Peevey however, re-
fused to be bulldozer. or bought He CON
tinued to pour hot shot into the gang, and
Gallagher in particular.
one day Gallagher met Peevey, and an
nounced that he proposed to wipe up the
earth with him. The boss gambler was
accompanied by one of his henchmen.
Peevey squared himself for the onslaught
and met his antagonist more than half
way. The mix-up lasted for only a few
minutes. but at the end of it Gallagher
had been beaten soundly. In the thick Of
the fight Peevey bit off a piece Of one Of
Gallagher's ears and spat it out When
the hght was over Gallagher groped
around searching for the fragment of
ear, when his henchman, aforementioned
remarked: Let 'er go, Gallagher"
meaning that the fragment was not worth
the time it would take to find 1t. Thus the
famous expression was originated.
