W. AAE 1ArEg
The county commissioners 90 not ap-
pear to be in any particular hurry to
complete the new cut OF the Casey canal.
The cutting where the new line crosses
the City and Suburban railway Is in about
the same unfinished condition it was
year ago. The steam dredge has been
taken TO the Dundee canal, placed on
fat and is being used as a mud digger.
II there is one public work more than
another that the health Of the city re-
quires shall be completed at the earliest
possible moment it is the Casey canal.
Until that canal is finished it viii be i'm
possible to drain the Iowlands adjacent
10 the city. AS soon as the canal is COM
pleted laterals should be constructed
through these adjacent lowlands. which
would then cease to be a menace to the
city.
There is no issue between the present
engineer officer and the commissioners
and there is. therefore, no reason why
this work should not have the preference
that It's Importance demands. Another
summer will soon be here with its dan
gers. and nothing that can be done to i'm
prove the sanitary condition of the city
and its surroundings should be- left I'M
done. Should this important work remain
unfinished and sickness Of a serious char
acter visit the city there would be an out
burst Of Indignation such as is seldom
seen, and it would likely be directed
against the commissioners. The Casey
canal and its lateral drains should be
completed as quickly as possible. It has
been a long time since work on the canal
was begun.

ChecIsmnting the RepubIicans

There is promise of an interesting politi-
cal situation in the Kentucky legislature.
The republicans have a very small ma
jority in the House. and the democrats
very small majority in the Senate on
joint ballot there is a tie. the two popu-
list members having the balance of power.
1t has been reported that one of the popu-
lists would vote with the republicans and
the other with the democrats, thus main
tanning the tie.
1t is alleged that the republicans of the
House will unseat one or two democrats
and fill the vancancies thus made with
republicans. The democrats of the Senate
viii retaliate, so it is said, if the republi-
cans attempt to get a majority in joint
ballot by any such method, by unseating
a republican senator for every demo-
cratic representative unseated. 1t is fur
Their stated in the dispatches, that if the
foregoing plan should fail the democrats
would absent themselves froms the joint
assembly, thereby making the election of
a United States senator impossible, be-
cause of the lack of a quorum.
There has been a number of instances
in recent years in which there has been
trouble in electing a United States sena-
tor. At present there is pending sena-
torial contest from Delaware. The trouble
in the Delaware legislature was much like
that which promises to occur in Ken
lucky.
Whenever the Legislature is pretty even
ly divided between the opposing parties,
and there is third party holding the bal
ance of power, there is nearly always a
scandal of some sort when a United
States senator is to be elected. And when
one party is largely in the majority scan
dals connected with the election of United
states senators are not infrequent.
Within the last half dozen years there
has developed a pretty strong sentiment
in favor of having United States senators
elected by the people. instead of by the
legislature. There are strong reasons in
favor of the suggested change. If the
change were made it is certain there
would be fewer scandals growing out of
senatorial elections. and it is quite safe
to say that men would be chosen to fill
the high office of senator who would be
the equal in character and ability of those
who now constitute the Senate.

Ex-Gov. Northen is still putting in good
ticks in the interest of desirable immi-
grafton to Georgia. He says he has now
three new colonies in prospect, all TO be
settled by good farmers and business men.
One colony is to be made up of members
Of Congregational churches in Kansas,
another is to be made up of farmers from
Indiana and a third of farmers from
Ohio. These last are looking for a body
of 10000 acres of land, and may come to
South Georgia. Besides these there is
now in South Georgia a Pennsylvania
who. under the ex-governor direction,
is looking for lands upon which to To-

beautiful Hands.
James whitcomb Riley.

James w nllCOihD INllbys
As I remember the first fair touch
OF those beautiful hands that 1 love so
much,
I seem to thrill as I then was thrilled
kissing the glove than l found untitled
When I met your gaze and the queenly
bow
And you said to me laughingly. Keep it
nOWi"
And dazed and alone in a dream I stand
kissing the ghost of your beautiful hand.
When first I loved in the long ago,
And held your hand as l told you So
Pressed and caressed it and gave it a kiss,
And said Il could die for a hand like
thisr'
Little 1 dreamed loves fullness yet
Had to ripen when eyes were wet,
And prayers were vain in their wild de-
mands
For one warm touch of your beautiful
hands.
Beautiful hands! o, beautiful hands!
Could you reach out of the alien lands
Where you are lingering, and give me to-
night
Only a touch-were is ever so light
My heart were soothed, and my weary
brain
Would lull itself into rest again;
For there is no solace the world COM
mands
Like the caress of your beautiful hands.

The cable dispatch published yesterday
to the effect that the German and Amer
lean residents" at johannesburg, South
Africa, had Joined the national union of
Uitlanders, as against the Beers, is apt
to be somewhat misleading, inasmuch as
it occurred in the same column with a
promise by the German emperor that he
would appoint German resident" at
Pretoria as a recognition of the import
ance of the Transvaal republic. Resi-
dent means a diplomatic officer, as well
as one who resides in place for some
time. The United States has no diplo-
matte or consular officer at either Johan-
nesburg or Pretoria, hence the American
residents who Joined the Uitlanders did
not officially involve this government in
the quarrel.

A great New York paper is Offering
a prize for the best answer to the ques-
ton, How far shall woman so during
1886 to encourage man to propose mar
riage?' The paper must have money to
burn. All replies viii be useless for prac-
teal purposes. Everything depends upon
the individuals concerned. No rule can
be laid down for counting, either during
leap year or any other year. If all men
and all women were similarly constituted
then 1t might be possible to lay down
a rule of procedure AS things are. how
ever, while one man may be led with the
filmiest bit of silk floss. another one must
be driven with a bludgeon. The women
know about all of those things. 1t is a
waste of time to advise them. They are
not going to take advice, even when it
is dished up to them gratis. Let them

For the first time in the history of the
world a pure-blooded negro has been
knighted. Queen Victoria's bestowaI of
the court honor upon Mayor Lewis of
Freetown, the capital of Sierra Leone
has undoubtedly been due to some pres
sure of colonial politics; but the fact is
nevertheless noteworthy as marking
distinct step forward in the recognition
by the white of the equality of the black
race. 1t seems queer, too. to see the
African negro thus achieving a goal be-

Meath the over-hanging moss,

Where death seems not a loss.

At each tomb's head in the city of dead,
Wrapped in silent prayer.

Sounds sweet as an angels psalm,

If death should bring such balm.

Before the Venezuela affair goes very
much further it might be well to inquire
where the bulk of the worlds supply Of
quinine is stored. Some Information with
regard to the supply Of india rubber also
would be pertinent. But it does not make
80 much difference about the rubber; we've
got a plenty Of cotton seed oil, and it
is said a fair substitute for rubber can
be made from that oil In the matter
of the quinine it is different If it comes
to fighting along the Schomburgk line it
will, upon the authority of a well-known
ex-senator, be necessary TO provide each
soldier with a keg Of quinine and suit
of gum clothes. When Lieut.. Strain went
down to the isthmus in 1854 to survey
a line across Panama he found quinine
to be the article his expedition needed
chiefly. and the ex-senator says the eli
mate of the Venezuela swamps is even
worse than that of the Panama swamps.
