One of the funny stories of the cam
paign is told by Leslies Weekly. and is to
the effect that not a great while ago Mr..
Bryan applied to the manager of New
York theater for the position of press
agent. If it were true it would not, OF
course, amount to a row of pins. But when
st is remembered that Leslie's Weekly is
the property of the owner of Judge, who is
one Of the greatest jokers of the age it is
found to be unnecessary to pursue the
matter further.

The Voters Themselves Control.
The Springfield (Mass.) Republican Qnd)

What controls votes2 The Chicago pa
pers say that the labor organizations can
not control the labor vote. and point to
Judge Gary's success in 1898 with every
labor union Of Chicago against him. But
do the newspapers control votes? Carter
Harrison was elected mayor OF Chicago

was elected mayor OF San Francisco with
out the support OF a single paper. II looks
as IL the American voter still possessed

The Major on the stump.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer (Dem.)

Let the person who wants to learn how
to talk without saying anything study
Mai. McKinley's speeches. He tells how
glad he is to see the people. and what a
fine country they are from, and goes into
commonplace "reminiscences. Occasionally
he makes a burst of rather fine phrase
coming, but on the issues of the day he
gives nothing but platitudes. He acts
like a man who has to make speeches, but
he is afraid to have a real opinion about
any great issues of the day.

is that Don Dickinson went after and

Ohio, Indiana and Michigan. Where he
went, or how he got the money is not stat

CURRENT COMMENT.
That Wonderful Cotton.
From the Macon Telegraph (Dem.).

The wonderful story that goes out from
Atlanta is doubtless in the same class as
the Telegraph's okra-cotton plant of long
ago. 1t grew in the fertile Imagination
OF ready writer. The Charleston News
and Courier commenting on it, admits
that it may be true Notwithstanding the
fact that it came from Atlanta but that
it has seen no mention of it in any of
the Georgia papers.

Georgin,s New Justices.
From the Atlanta Journal Dem)

The people will be very apt to select men
of established reputation for character,
ability and legal requirements. We do not
doubt that the result of the first popular
election Of judges in Georgia since the war
will add to the supreme court three excel
lent members. The nearer the election of
these judges can be brought to the people
the better. we think, will be the chance
for the election of the best men.

Leaving Kansas.


A dispatch from Oberlin, Kan, to the
Chicago Record tells of an exodus of
farmers from Western Kansas in prairie
schooners." They are fleeing to the east
ward and southwark to escape from the
blighting effects of droughts, blizzards,
hot winds and populism. The movement
is principally from the counties of Wal
lace. Logan, Grove Sherman and Chey-
enne where for the third or fourth sue
cessive time the crops have proved
failure.
In the spring there were, as usual, prom
ises of a golden harvest. The summer
months came and still the fields were
smiling. But, during the latter part of
July and the month of August the with
ering, scorching, hot winds came and all
vegetation was parched. No rain fell for
weeks. Crops were destroyed. There
were, however. taxes and debts to be
paid. Two years of complete populist
control Of the state had made taxes higher
than ever before. The wild rantings of
populist agitators had frightened capital
lists. and they declined to extend loans
or make further advances. In their ex-
tremity there remained nothing for the
farmers to do but pull up stakes" and
seek more favored section.
1t is understood that many of these
farmers are headed for Alabama, Geor-
gia and Mississippi. 1t is to be hoped
they viii permit nothing to switch them
off their route. In the states named they
will be given a cordial reception. They
will find lands, to be had upon most fay
orable terms that can he depended upon
to yield a crop. There are seldom violent
atmospheric disturbances. and hot winds
and blzzards are not known in this Sec
ton Of the country.
The democratic party managers OF Geor-
gia would do well to stop and take a
glance over'into North Carolina before
they listen to propositions for fusion with
the populists. In that state the populists
have proved to be the poison ivy that
choked the oak that lent it assistance. The
populists would be delighted to serve the
Georgia democracy in the same manner
Some Of the so-called populists Of the state
were republicans only a short while ago
They have nothing to lose and everything
TO gain by any deal that might be made

ENGLAND'S
Lord Salisbury Is Well Up in Science as
Well as Statecraft.

Personally Lord Salisbury is deeply
lead and cultured man. He spends a
good deal of time in his laboratory, is
very ono of chemistry, possesses much
practical knowledge of electricity. and
has delivered more than n able adj
dress before such bodies as the British
Association for the Advancement OF
Science. He is not physically as strong
"a he looks, and the immense volume of
work he accomplishes, coupled with
very little exercise. makes him in real
itv a somewhat delicate man. In ap-
Jearancc he is impressive without be
ing handsome, and his ordinary de
meanor is one of apparent indifference
and a~riStocratic hauteur. Like him
self in character. his OTatOry is imperi-
Gus, forcible and effective. At his ia

than once entertained by Lord Sails
hury. as in Il past century his ancestry
entertained Queen Elizabeth. and there
lie thoroughly enjoys, whether in or out
of power, the generous country life
and open hospitality of the historical
and typical fine old English gentle
man"
Taken altogether, the present Eng
fish premier is an extraordinary and in
teresting figure in the politics of this
period. His patriotism is strong and
sincere, but it rests upon the forms OF
the constitution and upon loyalty to
the crown rather than upon the mod
crn principle of LOYALTY to the imme-
date and changcable will of a popular
democracy. And Lord Salisbury in
this case undoubtedly embodiesth enat-
:rral hereditary and inherent conserva-
tism of the English people,. Castell

Above All Things She Most Detests

The month of May is the carnival of
bee life in California. and at nc other
time of the year is the half work. half

mating and delightful. After spring
showers are over, q delicious warmth
and fragrance steam up from the cir
cling foothills, where every notch and
byway is choked with Towering wild
wood. The long blooming slopes
stretch sunnily to fruitful valleys, and
the whole riotOus floral ION is voiced
by honey-hunting bees. Their lilli-
putian cities are seen just without the
open arms of canyons, the white hives
arranged with the precision of dwell
ings along the streets. Sometimes
these mimic thoroughfares ale shaded
by scattering oaks and sumac, or the
green umbrellas of elderberry bushes,
now fringed with freighted, creamy
clusters. Where there are no indigen-
Gus trees it is not unusual for the
thrifty apiarist to plant grape-vines
and orchard rows between the hives,
which serve the double purpose of
shade and forage. y n~eighboring bee
