The Georgia House of Representatives
has shown its tender humanity by passing, with
only three dissenting votes, a bill prohibiting
football games. Another promising subject
for tender humanity may be seen in At
lanta every day. Who that had the good
fortune to DO in Washington between 1855
and 1889 can forget the heroic and bril-
liant panorama OF tho Hon. HoCUs SMITH
and his coal.black charger Bucephalusf 1t
was hard to say whether Bucephalus was
running off with HoCUs or HocUs was trying to
run away from Bucephalus. In tho words of
Mr.. CLEVELAND. "Mr. SMITH was a regular
Centre" But what alarm tho spirited steed
and rider created what II that herce
pony should run away with him.. said visitors,
shuddering with admiration on the sidewalks
why don't no get off the hossi lie can carry
the hoss better than tho hoss can carry him."
remarked the stern critics on the boxes OF the
herdics.
HocUs did not get of. Bucephalus did not
run away. Is that any reason why the Georgia
Legislature should permit the Hon. HocUs
SMITH TO ride in Atlantai For every collar
bone broken at football. at least 10000 col
lar bones have been broken by riding.
Mr.. Smith must DO forbidden TO ride. But

The West Net slow TO Interpret the work or
Republican Desertors Here.
TIC THE EDITOR OF The SUN-Sir: Some Of
the misguided people in this section Of tho coun-
try who have an idea that Tammany's victory
meant nothing to tho cause Of free silver may
find 1t interesting to read what o close observer
in tho West noticed. On Nov. 8 q friend wrote
to mo from st. Louis q letter which contains
the following:
'st. Louis went wild over Van wyok's election, and
everybody says .silver is gaining strength You in
the East cannot realize the situation out here. Every.
body here is q politician, and almost everybody is q
silverite. Added to this they have an organization
already existing and working for the next Pretiden.
tial campaign.
Every town and cvery county in Missouri has a
Democratic club-and. US usual. this is for silver
with the sole object OF electing q free.silver President
In 1900. These clubs are PROSECUTING and doing mis-.
meeting with success. They are also raising money
by dimes and quarters to defray the expenses Of the
campaign. This plan ia not confined to Missouri; 1t
has spread to other States, and Ia still spreading. The
whole scheme Is the idea of ex.Gov. 'Gunl.Shoe BIZ
Stone. who Is working with heart and soul for the
furtherance OF the cause OF silver. This movement
may take the Republicans by surprise in 1900. The
politicians hero are working hard: they cheer for
Tammany and rejoice at George Fred williams's
strength In Massachusetts"
What have the New York descrters OF the Re-
publican party and its principles in the recent
campaign to say to this7 A REPUBLICAN.

Long Islands Doer Hunt.

In November
Goeth the hunters out from the city,
Utterly without pity,
BY myriads and more.
As mosquitoes from the Jersey shore,
In all manner OF remark able gear
And shooting irons. loaded for deer.
Long Island deer. ceTuus PdtehoouS.
Guaranteed not to be bogus;
Phenomenal animals. too. arc they,
Strange and peculiar in a way
Unlike any other deer
Heard OF or known Of hero
Or anywhere else as far as We know.
Wher" the deer kind grow.
Born are they on this range
To a fate most strange;
To wit. each deer. 10y careful computation,
To complete the equation.
Ought to receive. while alive.
Exactly forty.hve
Thousand nine hundred and sixty.eight
Gold. hard bullets straight
In order to accommoda ate
Each hunter who hunts the island DER
From shore to shore,
with his loaded gun
For deer and fun.
That is tho average; that ia what
A deer should have TO be shot
Properly ON Long Island.
Hut, Great
Scot!
They make II hot
For the islanders who lodge
In those parts and have TO dodge
Four hundred million bullets that ny
BY
And NIL the atmosphere
Instead OF the deer.
Think OF II, ye who live where
Bullets do not NIL the air
Full OF holes. And the weight OF lead
In the bullets shed
Breaks down the trees and the cropsl
And the shooting never stops
&c long as q deer remains to be
Puncturod to fatality.
But let the hunters shoot and shoot,
And let the deer Aud people scoot.
With doubts and fears
A few brief years,
And then the warm Long Island soil
Will answer richly TO the toll
OF Thousands. lSboring for their bread.

ACCIDENT on tho Grand Trunk.

The same old trick of crossing twe

astrous results on the Grand Trunk Iail
road Tuesday afternoon about six O'Clock.

" smashed ND. One car was thrown
from the track and loss of life was only
averted by both crews of the two engines
jumping. Beyond slight injuries no on
is reported hurt.
One of the engines Is SO badly smashed
that probably it will not be repaired as
it would have to be built entirely over.

is understood that it was the result OF a
wrong crossing order. All investigation
will probably be ordered.
