VIZ. Mntson.. Fnture.

Mr.. Watson Of Georgia said to a
correspondent Of the Louisville Courier
journal at Jonesboro the other day: Il
am out OF politics" II seems that the pop
ulists Of Kentucky desired Mr.. Watson TO
go 10 that state and make speeches, fol-
lowing Mr. Bryan, who IS billed for
Kentucky tour shortly. When the propo-
sition was preached TO Mr.. Watson he de-
clared in line with the declaration Of the
people at the polls last November Il am
out OF politics" And not only did he as
sert that ne was out but that he intended
70 stay out Il am going to attend to my
law practice" said he. and will neither
be a candidate for Office myself nor take
part In the campaigns Of other candidates.
It is all right for Mr.. Bryan to make
speeches in Kentucky or elsewhere, for
Mr.. Bryan is in the experimenting busi-
ness As I understand it, that is his pro-
fession. But my purpose in life is far
different one, and hereafter the politicians
of all parties VIII be perfectly safe in
counting me out of their political deals"
1t might be suggested that Mr.. Watson
was pretty smoothly counted out of a po-
litical deal last fall. against his vehement
protest. but that is neither here nor there,
since Mr. Watson is out Of politics. The
point is that he is out and means to
stay out. so he says He is Disguised with
the popu,ist party, which he has found TO
be under the domination of tricksters and
traders He was sold out last year, he
says. and he knows the man, or men, of
IL huE
confidence in the populist party; he would
not trust it again; he knows that it is an
organization for spells, therefore he is
done with it. And nobody can blame Mr..
Watson for arriving at that conclusion.
Indeed, it is a surprise to a good many
people that a man of so much natural tai
ent and honesty of purpose as Mr.. Watson
could have been so long hoodwinked by
the bosses of the populist party.
But, because Mr.. Watson has been de-
ceived in the populist party. is that any
reason why he should quit politics? Should
he bury his talents as a political leader
because of the fact that he has been dis
appointed? We do not think SO. Mr..
Watson owes something to his faithful fol-
lowers and admirers. When he expresses
disgust at the populist party and quits
politics, he leaves them all at sea. They
will not wish TO remain longer In affilia-
ton with a party which has not his con-
hdence yet they are at a loss for guide
and counselor. 1t seems to us, therefore,
that it is Mr. Watson's duty to continue to
take an active interest in politics He
should return to the democratic party,
and lead his followers back to the demo-
cratic fold. Mr.. Watson should have no
difficulty in becoming a democrat again.
The platform is broad enough for him to
stand on; and the party has forgiven
worse political sinners than he has been.

A good anecdote is told illustrating the
superior enterprise of the yankee shippers
years ago, says Harpers Round Table
The Bedford whalers left port for many

at other times TO the far south. These
intrepid followers of the sea sought and
pursued the whale in the ice-clad latl-

fearlessness. A squadron sent out by
Russia to explore the south seas, ana

Too Much for the Dog.

The Athol (Mass) Transcript tells a sto
ry of an old citizen of that town, Dexter
Lee who had wonderful power over ami
mails. One day a pedler with ferocious
bulldog came into town, and in the course
of conversation Lee remarked that he
could scare the dog out of the wagon. IF

every yard of silk there IS in it,
Lee said no more, but stepped back a lit
tie and drew his under lip between his
teeth, which caused his wiry chinwhisker
to project into the air in an extraordinary
and alarming manner. Then he fixed his
eyes sharply on the dog, and slowly APP
preached the animal
The bulldog watched him for a moment
as if fascinated but presently when Lee
made a little dive at him. the dog made

between his legs; nor could his master in

"vvhere's Hittr,-A Lincoln story


Congressman Hit of Illinois began his
career as a reporter on the Chicago Tri-
bune, where his expertness as a stenog-
rapher caused him to be assigned to re-
port the speeches of Abraham Lincoln in
his celebrated joint debate with Douglas
in 1858 says the Illustrated American.
Lincoln came to depend on his young
friend so that his first thought when fac
ing an audience, would be to see that Hit
had his pencil ready. On one occasion the
chairman of a meeting had introduced
Lincoln to the great audience who had
gathered to hear him, and every sound
was hushed and every head bent to catch
the first syllables that were to fall from
the lips of the orator. Lincoln was OBJ

Then he broke the stiffness with the sud

thing untoward had happened Nobody

newspaper men, who were aware of the
part played by the young stenographer

From the columbia Is. O. State Dem

FROM the COlumD la -. C-( state (Dem.).
We have very often thought of this
queer discrimination made at the north
between Wcyler and Sherman. between
actual rebels i'm Cuba and so-called rebels
in the south; and we have as often been
tempted to show the Inconsistency of it,
Yet after thinking over it we have come
to this conclusion 1t is too early yet to
get the north to admit that Sherman
waged war like a savage; therefore there's
no use to try to secure the admission. Con-
demnation of Sherman would be condem-
nation of the north, of the men who sup
ported him in his vandalism. who rejoiced
in his cruelties The time for that is yet
to come. But the northern denunciation
of Weyler for outrages akin to Shermans
is something gained; il is an admission in
fact, if not in terms, that Sherman was
a brute and that mis- methods were infam-
GUS one of these days, when impartial
history shall be written, the north will
be confronted with its lauda-
ton of Sherman and its damnation of
Weyler, and the admission will be forced
that what was villainous in the one was
Villanous in the other.
Let the north, therefore, go on piliug up
it's condemnation of Weyler. II is only
laying stronger the foundation for the flu
lures damnaton of sherman. What mat
tiers present Inconsistency, so long as the
ultimate end is the justice Of history?
