That is strange news which comes
from Florida that ex-senator Cali is to
go back to Washington as a lobbyist. 1t
must be that the ex-senator's friends have
been moving in this matter without his
knowledge or consent. For, according to
our recollection, there was never in the
Senate a member more strongly opposed
TO the practice of lobbying than Mr.. Call
And 1t was quite natural that he should
oppose the practice. for it not only de-
tracts from the dignity of the sena tors
to have lobbyists hanging on to their but
ton-holes and coat-tails, but frequently
perverts the votes of the senator's from
the recognized high senatorial purpose of
conserving the interests of the people.
Now, as everybody knows, Mr.. Cali was
a great stickler for the dignity of the
Senate and the fulhlment of duties to
the dear people. He has even suggested
that newspaper correspondents be fired
out of the press galleries because they
dared to suggest in their letters that GER
tain senators We're not conducting to the
dignity of the most august deliberative
body in the world and voting in the in
terest of the beloved populace.
We have it upon the authority of the
Washington Star that there is at the
capital at this time a very large profess
sional lobby made up Of eX-senators This
body, our contemporary says, Is growing
in size and the holiness of operations" Is
the gentleman from Florida going to be-
come a member of this body? The Star
goes on to say with regard TO it: For
some years these former members of the
upper house, who have set up in business
in Washington with their prestige and
special privileges as a stock Ia trade, have
led all of the Hobbies in daring ventures,
and their services have been generally rec
ognized and handsomely rewarded by the
various interests that seek to secure fav-
orable legislation by the particular meth
DDS best known to members of congress,
and hence to retired statesmen"
What this means is that the lobbyists
are employed by trusts, corporations or
other interests to bring about the pas
sage of bills which may or may not be
in the interests OF the people-Amost often
not-and that they receive big pay for
their lobbying. Ex-senator Call, however
is to become lobbyist In the interest of
Florida's Indian war claims. or course
he win devote his whole attention 10 that
matter

EnsiIY Cured.

The United States Tobacco Journal tells
the following story of cure of the tobac-
co habit:
Yes he said, II quit smoking nearly
year ago and haven't even taken a single
puff since"
ut must be considerable Of a struggle
for a man who has been in the habit of
smoking a good DEAL" said the man who
never had tried to stop, but was always
promising himself that some day he would.
Il had smoked for over twenty years."
said the man who had quit.
Yes, l know it," returned the man who
never had tried. "That's what surprises
me in your case. 1t must have required a
good deal of nerve and self-control.'

"Why, I've always understood that a
man went through ali kinds of torture and
only hung to his determination by the very
greatest exhibition of will power"

the proper method, yes" said the man
who had quit; ''but if he exercises a little
Judgment and common-sense it is the cas-
lest thing in the world. Now, 1 didn't go

It was a sad scene, says Tit-Bits. The
old man lay on his bed, and by him sat
the faithful wife, holding his worn hand
in hers, and forcing back the tears to
greet his wandering look with a smile
She spoke words of comfort and of hope.
But he felt the cold hand falling on him
and he turned his weary eyes up to her
pale, worn face.
JEANNE dear wife, am gong''
"Oh, no. John; not yet, not yetP'
Yes. dear WIFE" and he closed his
eyes, "the end is near. The world-the
world grows dark around me; gathering
thicker and thicker, and seem to hear
sweet music
mo, no, dear John; that's the brass
band i'm the street"
''What?" said the dying man. "Have
those scoundrels dared to come round here
when they know I'm dying? Give me my
bootjack; I'll let 'em seer and in a tow
ering rage the old man jumped from his
bed and before his wife could think, he
had opened the window and had SHE'D the
bootjack at the band. I've hit that
Dutch leader. anyway" said he, and went
back to bed and got better.

The Danger Not Imminent.


It is altogether too early to pick hints
and burnish swords in anticipation OF The
war with Spain. There Is, TO be sure
danger of a disturbance of the peace. But
the danger Is not imminent. The Morgan
resolution recognizing the belligerency OF
the Cubans is only one-third of the way
over its rocky road, and the hardest part
of the journey lies before it. It has yet
10 pass through the House of Representa-
tives and the white house before becoming
effective, and as yet there is no assurance
that it will get through the first of these.
The resolution now goes to Tom Reed,
although nominally it goes to the House.
1t cannot be successfully disputed that
Mr. Reed is the brains of the republican
party as represented at Washington. He
realizes full well that the Cuban question
at the st. Louis convention and the Cuban
question in Washington with a republl-
can President in power, are two very. diff
ferent things. In the first instance, there
was no responsibility attached 10 the pass
ing of red-hOt pro-Cuban resolutions. The
republican bosses wanted something
catchy as a campaign slogan, to go along
with their chestnut campaign cries. They
found it in Cuba Librer Now, however,
to embody the st. Louis plank In an on
cial act would place the respon-
sibility of a probable war upon the re-
publican President and the republican
party. Mr.. Reed probably would not care
three straws if the responsibility could
does not want It placed upon the reDub-
llcan party.
The dispatches say that Mr. Reed is
known TO be opposed to the adoption of
the belligerency resolution at this time.
That means it will be held up in the
House indefinitely, in all probability. 1t
has been more than once limited, in pretty
plain language and in the correspondence
of republican newspapers, that Mr.. Reed
is afraid to trust the President with the
direction of party policy When Mr. Nc
Kinley was the party leader on the floor
of the House, it is said, he, took. tips from,
Mr. Reed, and the big man ff6fa Maine
was really the leader. And Conditions
have not changed.
The speaker, therefore, may permit lust
enough of discussion of the matter as he
may consider sufficient to assist in
drawing public attention away from
the sugar scandal and the scandal
Gus tariff bill. But it is not likely that
he will permit the jingoes in the SEN
ate and the easy President in the white
house to precipitate trouble with Spain
just yet
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1897-05-22

A New York reporter managed to get
himself in the same Washington Jail with
Broker e. r. Chapman, the recalcitrant
sugar trust witness, but unfortunately he
let his secret slip, and he has been put
at such distance from the brokers' par
lor suite" that he will get no information
as to that gentlemans jail life. The in
structions are that he shall be confined so
as to keep all knowledge of the broker
from him. Thus it is for spell one New
York paper is minus a reporter, one re-
porter is minus his liberty. and an eager
public must be deprived of a nice, new
yellow" sensation. Too bad!

The Senate must have taken notice of
the fact that Florida's twenty-five mill
tary companies are holding their annual
state encampment, before il passed that
Cuban belligerency resolution. With such
a force as that almost on the Cuban from
tier barring the channel of course, there
was no fear of an attack by Spain. The
Florida troops should remain in encamp-
ment long enough now to give congress a
chance to put it's final touches upon the
real status of the Cubans. Just let them
overawe the Spaniards until the thing is
done. and by that time the fight win all
be knocked out of the dons.

Congressman Livington of Georgia did
not appear to like the idea of appropriate
ing $50. 900 for the suffering Americans in
Cuba, because, he said that amount would
suffice to feed them only for a month, and
additional appropriations would be call
ed for as long as the war continues. We
believe congress estimates that there are
about 600 suffering Americans in Cuba.
Figuring on that basis the appropriation
just made would give each of them sSS.66,
which the average man would consider
pretty expensive for a months living. But
then perhaps Congressman Livingston
wants to send them champagne and quail
on toast.
