In the Presidents Favor.
From the Philadelphia Record q

Things are still coming President Cleve-
lands way with an exhilarating spontan-
city. In addition to fat turkeys galore to
grace his holiday board, the President has
received decorations from Senator Chan
dler and Mr.. George Alfred Townsend
both of whom have pinned on his broad
breast the badges of their disapproval of
his administration. Wiseacres may decry
the talk of luck as Stiffness and supersti-
ton; but the fact remains that Cleve-
lands luck is still more potent than all
the rabbits feet that have been silver
tipped for holiday presents.

The state supreme court as constituted
under the recently adopted constitutional
amendment, and filled by the election held
Q few weeks ago. will be convened for
the first time in Atlanta on Monday, Jan.
4 Justices Little, Cobb and Fish will
then take the oath of Office. which will
probably be administered by Judge Lump
kin of the Fulton superior court. The
new law makes it the duty of the chief
Justice to divide the court into two di-
visions of three members each. The as
signment will probably be made on Mon
day or Tuesday, which two days will
probably be devoted TO organization.
There are several important railroad
cases which will come up Immediately
after the organization. before the full

sMr. Gibson of Georgia.

The Congressional Record, which pub
fishes the official record of the proceed
ings of congress, gives notice that a new
champion Of the old and attractive poiiti-
cal principle, "to the victors belong the
spoils," has sprung. like Lem Qulgg's
gladiator. booted and spurred into the
arena" The Record writes It down that
this new conner is MIR. Gibson of Geor-
gia," and that he made speech in the
House of Tuesday of last week in denun-
citation of civil service reform.
In his attack upon the civil service re-
form movement, "Mr. Gibson of Georgia"
gets there with all of the feet permitted
to be employed by poet. He regards
civil service examinations as a waste of
good time that might be employed in hust-
ling around and soaring UP votes, and as
shutting out of Office some of the best
hustlers after votes in existence. If the
hustlers are not to be permitted to have
the offices. he says it will not be very
long before the parties will die of mani
ton. when there are no great issues
involved

there must be other motives to incite men
to political action" says "Mr. Gibson of
Georgia" A consulate, a postoffice, a
marshalship, or something of the sort, is
what he means. He thinks there ought
TO be some kind of an examination, how
ever. A clerk, for instance, ought to have
ideas about reading, spelling and arith-
metic. But 1t doesn't matter a pin if he

distributing the offices after the next pres

II is not yet known of course who will
be members of Mr.. McKinley's cabinet.
but if they are chosen from among those
who have been named in connection with
cabinet positions it is evident that he will
have for his advisers a plutocrat or two.
some back number politicians and a few
political leaders who know more about
manipulating political conventions than
giving the people a government having
for its sole object their national prosper
ity and happiness.
Mr.. Cleveland was fortunate in the
selection of his cabinet officers. In only
two or three instances did he make mis-
takes. The secret of his success is found
in the fact that he did not look for his
advisers among the political leaders of his
party nor among millionaires. He chose
the members of his cabinet for their
sound common sense and ability to do the
work required of them. He did not care
whether or not they had great political
influence or possessed unusual skill in
political planning or plotting. He felt he
had great trust to administer and he
wanted men who could assist him to adj
minister it to the best advantage for
the public welfare.
Mr.. Mckinley may place at the head of
the different departments men capable of
making his administration success. 1t
is to be hoped he will. The indications
are, however, that his choice viii be made
with the view of holding his party to his
support and of keeping his party in power.
If he is controlled by such a motive. how
ever, he may succeed in having himself
nominated again and may have the undi-
vided support of his party in whatever
he undertakes to do as President, but
will he keep steadily in view the best IN
terests of the people?
Mr.. Cleveland has never cared appar-
entity whether or not the leaders of his
party supported him. As long as he has
felt that he had the people at his back
he has been satisfied, and we are conf
dent the impartial historian will say that
both Of his administrations were successful
ones. If Mr.. Mckinley is wise he will
not fail to profit by the example of Mr..
Cleveland in making up his cabinet.

Coffee Drinking.

There are some persons who indulge
to a considerable excess iii coffee drink
ing, and many more who go TO even
greater excess i'll the use of tea. 1t has
accordingly been contended by some alb
stainers from these two substances that
they are capable of generating form OF
inebriety corresponding TO etherism.
Unquestionably Incorporate tea and
coffee drinking will give rise TO serious
mischief. The inordinate consumer of
strong tea may become a dyspeptic
decrepit nervous system, the vici.ln
of deep, intense melancholy, with, in
some cases, a suicidal tendency The
immoderate indulger in coffee, black
and strong, may lose all appetite for
healthy food, eat little, suffer from
tremors, acute neuralgia and other
pains, excessive thirst, agoniZing head
ache and feeling of intolerable dryness
and heat. He may become pinched and
emaciated, have feeble circulation
and constant fear of falling, with a
blurred vision, as if looking through
light brownish media.
These, however, are the symptoms Of
tea and coffee poisoning. They bear wit
ness, SO to speak, to theme and caffeine
intoxication, minus the anasthesia and
paralysis of alcoholic drunkenness. DR.
Kerr, in his practice, has never seen an
uncomfortable craving for tea or coffee
to which all natural affections and du
ties were subordinsted. He is therefore
unable TO recognize these phases of ex
cessive drinking as manifestations Of
narcomania, the disease which is char
acterized by an overpowering impulse
to intoxication at all risks. New York

Color Blind.

John Dalton, without whose discovery
of the laws of chemical combination
chemistry as an exact science could
hardly exist, was wholly color blind.
His knowle ledge of the fact came about
by happening Of the sort which we
call chance. On his mother birthday,
when he was man of 20, he took her a
pair Of stockings which he had seen in
shop window labeled:
Silk, and newest fashion.
Thee has bought me pair Of grand
hose, John, said the mother, "but
what made thee fancy such bright col
or? Why, l can never show myself at
meeting in them. "
John was much Disconnected, but he
told her that he considered the stockings
TO be of very proper 90 TO meeting
color, as they were dark blush drab.
why, they re red as a cherry, John, !"
was her astonished reply.
Neither he nor his brother Jonathan
could see anything but drab in the stock
ings, and they rested in the belief that
the good wife's eyes were ont of order
until she, having consulted various
neighbors, returned with the verdict,
"NaTra fine stuff, hut uncommon scar
lety. +"
The consequence was that John Dal-
ton became almost the first 70 direct the
