A Chase..for Beer.

Yesterday afternoon as one of the
liquor deputies was walking down
Federal street, he was passed by team
on which there was half keg of beer
and three men. The driver of the team
saw the liquor deputy and whipped up
his horse to run. The deputy crawled
over the tail board of the wagon after a
hard run and the three men jumping
off the wagon seat, disappeared down
Market street. The horse ran as far as
Lincoln Park before the deputy could
stop him. 1t was an exciting incident
and large crowd showed their enjoy
mont of it by frequent cheers. The beer
was contisoated.

JUDGE FISH IS RIGHT.

Judge w. III. Fish was on the right
line when he charged the Webster
county grand jury that it should make
no endorsement of any candidate for
Judge, solicitor general, or any other
| office.
Courts and grand juries should be as
far removed from politics as possible.
When grand juries get to fOOling with
such endorsements they are dealing
with politics pure and simple, and
many are the disgraceful things that
are being reported from Georgia grand
juries these days because they have
seen fit to go out of the line of duty
in this thing.
From one county comes the report
that a congressman, state senator,
speaker of the house of Representatives
Judge and solicitor have all been rec
commended by the grand jury. Anoth-
er county sends the report of the So
licitor-g general and his opponent adj
dressing the grand jurors, in their
room, in the interest of their respect
i've candidates.. For many reasons,
most of which are perfectly clear to
the average man, this is radically
wrong.
After all, the action of grand jury in
such matters counts no more than the
action of any other twenty three men,
for they are not chosen and sworn to
represent their respective counties on
purely political questions; so whatey-
er they may do in that line they do it
only for themselves.
When juries are kept clearer Of poll
tics justice will receive better treat
ment, and Judge Fish is to be congrat-
ulated on the bold and highly proper
step he has taken toward accomplish
ing this end.

A Disappointed Diplomat.

An interesting story is told in Wash.
ington regarding M. Patenotre, the
French ambassador. After congress
passed the law empowering the presi-
dent to send ambassadors to such coun-
tries as would raise the rank of their
representatives, Sir Julian Pauncefote
was the first to inform the president of
the intention of his country to make
him an ambassador. M. Patenotre con-
ceived the ambition to be the dean of
the ambassadors and communicated it
to his home government, and his COM
mission arrived before Sir Julian's. He
went to the state department in tine
hope of immediate recognition as the
first EN- AMBASSADOR to this country. He was
told that Sir Julian had anticipated him
by informing the department of the ac-
ton of his government. He was angry,
and wrote to the president requesting
his intervention. He received instead a
chilly letter from Mr.. Gresham.

THIS BAND DIDN'T PLAY.

The Americas brass band went down
to Albany with Judge Crisp, and re-
ceived very discOurteous treatment at
the hands of w. A. Duncan of New
York, superintendent of the Chautau-
qua. The band, upon invitation of
Mayor Wight, entered the tent and be-
gan to play "Dixie." Mr.. Duncan per-
emptorily ordered the band to cease,
saying that kind of music was not
wanted, The New Yorker didn't APP
prove of the sentimentof themusic nor
the political views of the distinguished
Americas gentlemen whom the band
was honoring.
To say the least of it, it was a
very questionable act and showed
scant courtesy on the part of the Mr.
Duncan. He should endeavor to i'm
prove his manners before he comes
south again.
