Sweeping Democratic victory.
News and Observer.
The election yesterday
showed how the people vote
when fraud and coersion do
not dominate.
1t shows that democracy is
in Il large majority IN this
country, and that upon a
fair and unbought election in
1896 Bryan would today be
il the White House.
In Nebraska, the home of
the eloquent and able leader
of the party, the Republican
party was sno we'd under by
a much bigger majority than
last year. beginning at Je-
rusalem.'
The success of the Demo-
cratic ticket in the State OF
New York, wiping out an nd.
verse majority OF 100000, is
glory enough. 1t shows that
the Democracy of the En-.
pire State. though disorgan-
lied and discouraged in 1896
in trying to undo the teach
ings of Cleveland and Hill,
has not abandoned t h e
faith.
The news from Ohio is that
the Democrats have elected
the State ticket and will con
troll the General Assembly,
thus insuring he defeat of
Mark Hanna to the Senate.
The Republicans d.o not con-
cede this, but say that the re-
suit is in very great doubt.
! The Democrats have elect
ed their Mayor in the city OF
Louisville after a most excit-
ing contest. This city gave
Mckinley an immense ma.
jority in 1896. The bulletins
; from other parts OF the State
! Indicate that the Democrats
} have won by old.time major
} tiles, though returns are toe
) slow to be certain.
; The result in Maryland Il
in very grave doubt. 1t rath
er looks like the Republicans
are IN the lead, and that Cor
man may be defeated.
Virginia is strongly Demo
cratic, insuring the reelection

In Iowa the Republican
r loss is very great. The md
jority Of 1896 is reduced

oud Not Only Begin At Once But the Removal Of Other Eyesore

OF the deceased, was standing little
way off. Deceased told witness he
had been here two weeks, but done no
work and was living a sporting life.
Ed. Williams, colored, had seen the
murdered man with another negro
near the scene of the murder between
s and 8 o'clock Sunday morning. Will
lie Odum, a negro, swore that he saw
the deceased standing alone near the
building about 1915 Sunday night.
Assistant Chief Levison told the jury
that Fannie Gelow told him that Sun
day night about one O'Clock, while she
was sleeping near an open window
she was awakened by man crawling
through her window. He tried to put
his hand over her mouth to keep her
from screaming but did not succeed,
and ran when her brother rushed in
in answer to her call. No one knew
who the dead man was. The jury is
still pondering over the mystery and
has not yet rendered verdict.

LITTLE JOSEPH
LOST In This CITY.
A Pretty Spanish Child, Far from
Home, Has Disap-
peared
VESSEL SAILED WITHOUT Him.
Vice Consul Torras Will Continue Search,
Is the Boy Held for Ransom?
The Story.

The captain of the Spanish bark
Triunfo is mourning for Joseph Sosa,
pretty 12-year-old Spanish boy, who
came with him in his vessel from
Madrid to this port. Little Joseph
was given into tie care of the captain
by his fond parents in Madrid for the
voyage, thinking the sea trip would
benefit him.
Persons who sew the little fellow on
board the vessel at Torras' wharf
marveled at his singular beauty. He
was greatly beloved by the captain
and crew of the vessel.
A few days ago little Joseph disap-
peared from the vessel. Search was
unavailing, all means were exhausted,
but the boy was not found,
After delaying his sailing for sew
eral days, the captain of the Triunfo
was obliged to sail without his be-
loved charge. The vessel left yester-
day morning, carrying a sad message
to the anxious parents in far away
Spain.
Vice Consul Torres IS much con-
cerned over the disappearance of the
pretty boy and will continue the
search.
1t is believed that the beauty of the
boy attracted designing persons, and
that they are keeping him in custody
in hopes of a ransom.

Birmingham's Smallpox Patients All
Confined TO PesthOuse.
Birmingham, Ala, Aug. 9.-For &c
hours, from Saturday noon until last
night there was not single new case
of smallpox here, the first instance OF
the kind since the epidemic began
three weeks ago. Late last night an
other case was found, negro boy, and
today still another, a negro woman,
both being sent to the pesthouse.
There are eighty-three cases at the
pesthouse, all negroes but one. Be-
sides these, there are twenty suspects
at the house of dentention. The Her.
aid authorities are greatly encouraged
over the situation and believe that in
short time the epidemic will haye
disappeared entirely.
The most rigid sanitary measures
are still being enforced, while vacci.
nation, under compulsion, has become
so general that the disease cannot
spread much further.

TURPENTINE GAS.
Two Seamen Go Into Vessels Closed
Hold, and One Is Dying.

Two Seamen Go Into a Vessels Closed
Hold, and One Is Dying.
Rope was needed for some purpose
on the bark Msrtlnson, which is lying
at Downing's wharf, yesterday MORN
ing, and the mate and carpenter of
the bark went down into the hold to
bring up a coil which was slowed away
there. The cargo of the Martinson
had been completed, and the matches
battened down. The atmosphere of
the hold was very close, and the gases
generated by the turpentine had the
usual effect.
The two men were overcome by the
noxious vapors. The mate fell un-
conscious, but the carpenter managed
to climb up on deck, when he fell also
fell unable to tell of the danger of the
mate.
The mate was missed, however, and
some of the men found him in an
almost dying condition in the hold.
He was taken up to the fresh air, but
it did not revive him. DR.. A. G. BlaIn
as called, and did all he could for
the men. The carpenter was soon
brought around all right, but the
mates case is a serious one, and he
may not recover.

JUDGE JOHN ROSS
HOLDS CITY COURT.
The Macon Jurist Presides In
stead Of Judge
Atkinson.
CASES THAT HE HEARD.
The StevedOrs and the StOrskseper-Su Suit
for Two Thousand-A Dog
Case Coming.

When city court convened an ad-
journed term yesterday morning there
was a new judge on the bench, and a
new voice instructed Sheriff Berrie to
call the court to order.
The new judge was Hon. John Ross,
of the city court of Macon. Judge
Ross came to preside in certain cases
in which Judge Sam Atkinson was
disqualified. He is an able jurist,
and, under his direction, the courts
machinery moved smoothly and ex-
peditiOusly.
The case of w. s. Lang VS., Harry
Tattnall was the first on the docket.
In this case Lang claimed about $4,000
from Tattnall. Tattnall is the rich
colored stevedore, and had placed his
labor accounts at Lang's store. Lang
claimed that the amount was due him
by Tattnall on goods, etc, furnished
the men who worked for the stevedore.
Judge G. Symmes represented Lang
and Messrs. d. w. Krauss and G. B.
Mabry appeared for Tattnall. Certain
developments in the progress of the
case caused Judge Symmes to move an
amendment of the plaintiffs plea.
This amendment Judge Ross refused
to allow, and, on this decision, Judge
Symmes discussed his case,
The next case, also by Juge Ross,
was that OF Harry Tattnall VS.. A. D.
Lang, suit on due bill for 5000. Tat
nall claimed that he had loaned Lang
the money and had received no pay
ment on the same. Lang produced a
receipt signed with Tatnalls mark,
for 500 of the money. The jury gave
Tattnall a verdict for $100, with inter-
est from the date of the due bill, the
whole amounting to $137.
A verdict for the plaintiff was given
in the case Of Mrs. L. E Quinn VS.. the
Georgia Mutual Insurance Co. Mrs.
Quinn claimed 81 900 as losses from a
fire and also damages resulting from
the law process of settlement of the
policy on the part of the insurance
company. The jury gave Mrs. Quinn
the $1,000 principal, $3.50 damages and
$3.50 attorneys fees.
The case of Shade Manning. vs. The
Brunswick Publishing Co. was called,
but at the instance of the court, con-
tinued until this a. M, when it will be
the second case taken up.
The first case this a. M, will be one
involving dog. II. E, Taylor sues
the county commissioners of Glynn
for hound which he claims was add
ed to the county chaingang pack of
hounds without his consent. This will
prove an interesting issue, and will be
attended with interest.
Another verdict reversed yesterday
was in the case of Gignllliatt vs.. the
F. q. & P. r r. tor crossties. A con-
sent verdict for the plaintiff was re-
covered.

A Hawaiian can vote in any State
or any Territory because the
treaty makes him a citizen of the
United States.
Do you not consider it worth
your while to step into the glori
GUS rights and privileges of Ame-
rican citizensp 1t is my opinion
that there is not possession in
the world that man should strive
harder to obtain than to become q
citizen of the United States. l
have been a Senator of the United
States for twenty years consecu
lively and during that time l have
sat side by side with negroes, very
excellent men. 1 have not sat be.
side Indians because no State
elected any, although l have seen
some of Indian blood on the
bench. l have not seen them in
the Senate, but there is nothing to
prevent their sitting there, be.
cause the constitution gives equal
privileges to white man and
negro and Hawaiian. There is
no power in the constitution of
the United States to prevent a.
Hawaiian from becoming Presi.
dent of the United States if the
people choose to elect him. Now
if there is any man in this audi
ence who would prefer to be
subject of the Emperor of China
or the Emperor of japan, l should
like him to stand up until l have
look at him. Several times the
sovereignty Of these islands has
been offered to powers that would
take care of them, and that con-
troversy is not done yet. Ii the
mountains were brought down on
your houses by the action of
storms it would be just as bad as
if you were overwhelmed by an
earthquake. 1t makes no differ
ence to you whether you are to be
brought under subsection by guns
in your harbor or overwhelmed
by the peaceful tide of Asiatic i'm
migration. If the people of the
United States decide that it is best
to take you under their protection
they are simply going to do 1t.
The conditions of your country
have changed in the past hundred
years. l notice in passing through
your land the marks of little taro
patches that have disappeared.
The people have not died or run
away. They have come into
town where their children
have the advantages of
schools and higher civilization.
A hospitable man will not ask a
cold and hungry man at his door
to put on a new suit of clothes,
but will ask him to take seat by
the fire and be warmed and fed.
That is the way we feel toward
you. You are weak and weary,
you have suffered, you have
grown, you have a written Ian
guage, you are instructed in the
principles of Christian civiliza-
ton. No matter how poor any of
you may bel was as poor as any
of you-you will have the ad
vantsges of any white man under
our constitution,
Why is it you cannot agree on
any man or woman to rule over
you, rs king or queen by divine
right? Because you were never
made to be ruled in that manner.
The difference between a mon
| archy and a republic is that a
monarchy believes that power
comes down to the people,
while a republic believes that
power comes up from the
people-that every man has a
right to participate in the govern,
ment of his country. Hawaiians
have been raised up to that belief
1t is only a hundred years since
