PLANS OF THE POPULIsTs.
They Expect to Make a Hard Fight
For the Governorship.

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. "a representative
this morning asked Mr.. Hogan. one of the
populist leaders in the House, what sig
nifcance could be attached to the action
of the committee in calling such an early
convention.
1T means a vigorous campaign by our
party" he said. Were going into the
fight early and inaugurate lively cam
paign throughout the state. We're going
to nominate a good man on a good plat
form, and were going to appeal to the
people to elect him"
"Who do you think will be nomnated?"

Watson, Hines, Carter or Walter Hill -
Mr.. Hogan in answer to an inquiry. said
that he felt sure that the nominee would
be one of these four, and gave it as his
individual opinion that whoever was nom
mated would accept
The fact that Walter HIPS name is con-
sidered in connection with the nomination
clearly indicates that the populists will
not abandon the fight for a state dispen-
sary system.

HUNTERS DIPLOMATIC BERTH.

Honduras Likely to Refuse TO Rec
OSnize Him.
Washington, Dec. 9.-Dr Hunter OF Ken
lucky, who has been appointed minister to
Guatemala and Honduras, was at the
state department to-day, and having re-
ceived his final instructions, will sail from
New York on the goth instant. He goes to
Guatemala City, the capital of Guatemala,
but as his case is in many respects SINH
lar to that of Capt. Merry, it is probable
he viii be confined in his ministry to that
country, and will not be received in Hon
duras, 10 which country he is also accred-
tied. In that case Honduras also will be
without a United States legation. The
trouble arises from the fact that when the
greater republic was formed it was agreed
among the party nations that their foreign
relations should be conducted through a
diet, and they insisted that ministers from
other countries should be accredited to this
diet. Congress had divided the missions
in Central America in such fashion that
each Of the two missions includes a cOun-
try within and without the Greater Repub-
lie. This fact was repugnant to the ma
lions in the league. Owing to the terms of
cur appropriation act the President was
obliged to credit the ministers TO the mis-
slons named in the act. Capt Merry TO
Nicaragua and Costa Rica. and DR.. Hun
ter 70 Guatemala and Honduras, and had
no authority to accredit them to the diet
so the persis tence that Nicaragua and
Honduras have shown in their position has
resulted in depriving one Of them of the
presence of any United States minister
and threatens to do the same with the
other. In this case it will be interesting
to note how the Diplomatic representation
of the greater republic in Washington
now confded to a charge, Mr.. Corea, will
be affected.

months ago at Willacoochee. Sheriff
Hodge took the negro to Willacoochee yes

people there saw him they said he was
the person who committed the murder. It
was not thought that il would be safe for
the negro TO be sent TO Jail at Douglas as
there was some grounds for believing he
would be lynched. Sheriff Hodge brought
the prisoner 70 Waycross, and turned him
over TO Sheriff Mcclellan for safe-keeping
a reward of several hundred dollars was
offered for the murderer's capture. The
negro is probably the person wanted, and
Sheriff Hodge thinks he will get the re-
ward. Mr.. Bitch was a prominent tuT-
pentine operator of Coffee county, and was
assassinated by a negro hand known as
Johnson.

BY dint Of much econumy and deny
ing themselves the theater and expen-
sive dinners and fine clothes the young
South Side woman and her husband had
accumulated q few hundred dollars
which was drawing interest in bank
on La Sale street. The prudent wife,
alarmed by the stories CT bank failures,
thought it best to draw out tho little
hoard and invest it in large woolen
stocking. but her husband argued other
wise. They discussed the matter every
day, and finally the little woman was
seized with a great inspiration--she
would talk it over with the banker. But
she said nothing to her husband about
the resolve. Bright and early Monday
morning she repaired TO the bank, had
an extended conversation with the
cashier and went home radiant and
happy. When her husband returned to
dinner, she announced that she had de-
termined to leave the money in the
bank.
"Well, what has come ever you to
cause this change Of mind?" he asked.
"Oh, I'm sure the money is quite
eafe there, and do not want to lose the
interest.
why are You sure?''
"I went down TO the bank today and
had q talk with the cashier, and he told
me they were not going to fail. f"
"Oh, he did, did hep
"Yes he did, and he was SO nice
about it, I just asked him right to his
face if the bank was going to fail, and
he laughed at me and said it had no
such intention.
$50 you did not draw out your
money!"
"Why, certainly not. did not even
take my passbook.
"I'm mighty glad of that. If you had
drawn your money, you might have
bought a gold brick on the way home,
providing the vender had assured you
that it was all right"
"George you talk like one possessed.
What in the world do want of gold
brick, although I read in the pape-s
that gold was always good and-now
what are You laughing at-you are al.
ways poking fun at mel"
But George did not explain what ex-
cited his mirth, and the poor little
woman has suspicion that he is smok-
ing too many strong cigars. Chicago

MUNICIPAL GAS PLANTS.

Every little while somebody brings
t,rward Philadelphia as bright and
shining example OF what can be done
for the benefit of the people through
the establishment of municipal owner
ship in gas works, but some OF the re-
ports, at least, do not appear to confirm
these stories. We have always heard
of the political corruption in that city
which has been charged to that source,
and now comes the Philadelphis Times,
which, after furnishing the statistics
and giving the figures says:
Even this extraordinary Leakage ia
not the only thing loose at tue gas
works. OF the gas produced last year,
1897. .665, 900 cubic feet we're manufac-
tured at the city works and 1915, 1885,
600 feet was of the water gas purchased
ready-made. The purchased gas thus
furnishes about 40 per cent. OF the gas
that is sold, and ON this there is profit
Of sixty three cents per thousand feet.
From last years cash sales OF some three
thousand million cubic feet, this would
give profit of S756,OOO on the pur-
chased gas alone. If the gas unac-
counted for were charged at the mini
mum cost Of thirty-seven cents per
thousand, the price paid for the water
gas, it would amount to about 94l0, 900.
in reality it is more, because the cost
Of the coal gas IL greater, but we may
take this as approximating the loss by
leakage. Deduc.ing this from 1856, 900,
We have $337 900 lett for profit. The
report fsures the gross profits of the
year at &35?, 1888.
THE most favorable inference is that
there is no profit at all to the city from
the manufacture Of gas, and only suffi-
cient profit from the distribution of
purchased gas to Offset the losses aud
show small apparent balance. As the
leakage is increasing. il probably will
not be long until, even baying gas at
thirty-seven cents and selling ii At a
dollar, the city will iiy lose money
in the business"
